Verse 1: Do intro riff
       G
And we said it would be funny
to keep me hanging in suspense
         C9
Then I'd run over to your house
and I'd scale the chainlink fence
     Em7
That borders your back yard and
then I'd climb through your window
        C9
And I'd whisper that I love you
as you fall out of your clothes
         G
And we'd lay there in the
darkness like the dream of you I had
         C9
Where we captured all the
fireflies and knew what time we had
         Em7
Could be counted on our fingertips
that almost made you cry
    C9
You let me hold you tightly
as we said all our goodbyes


Refrain 1:
C9                      Em7
  May I say I loved you more
C9                      Em7
  May I say I loved you more


Interlude: C9


Verse 2:
       G
And it must of been and hour
that I clutched you in my arms
      C9
And I must have said the right
things because you instantly felt warm
        Em7
And you heard my heart stop
beating and you wanted not to cry
        C9
As your sympathetic whispers
they told a tale of bad goodbyes
         G
And You swore you saw me laughing
and I swore I saw you smile
         C9
And this time we've spent together
was meant to last us quite a while
     Em7
As I take this piece of you with
me I'll carry to my grave
C9
Knowing that for someone you're
an angel sent to save


Refrain 2:
(Keep Breathing my angel
if you go down I go with you)
C9                      Em7
  May I saw I loved you more
(Keep Breathing
Just Keep Breathing)
(Keep Breathing my angel
if you go down I go with you)
C9                      Em7
  May I saw I loved you more
(Keep Breathing
Just Keep Breathing)

Bridge:
C9
  Let's drink to
memories we shared
Em7
  Down one to all
the hopes and cares
C9
  Here's too for being
unaware that you're gone
Em7
  Because before too
long you'll be a memory
C9
  Let's drink to
memories we shared
before too long
you'll be a memory
Em7
  Down one to all
the hopes and cares
Because before too
long you'll be a memory
C9
  Here's too for being
unaware that you're gone
Because before too
long you'll be a memory
  Em7
Because before too
long you'll be a memory
