Verse 1:
             C#5
You fought a long
            F#5
long losing war
You've seen a 
C#5             F#5
time of better days
         C#5
Yeah but through it
all you stood up tall
          F#5
You never cowered in fear
             C#5
You'd always ante up 
when times were tough
          F#5
You never gave up on me


Refrain 1:
               Ab5
In this wicked game 
of life and death
        F#5
I would play my 
hand if I could


Chorus 1:
                C#5
I'd breathe for you

I'd breathe for you

I'd breathe for you


Verse 2:
               C#5
You've seen it all
                  F#5
it's all come and gone
             C#5
Through the smiles 
           F#5
and bitter tears
                C#5
Through all the endless
nights you'd stay
up fighting
        F#5
Just to make it
until dawn
        C#5
Another round of
shots a bigger pot
            F#5
Lies on the table waiting


Refrain 2:
               Ab5
In this wicked game
of life and death
Let's throw down 
    F#5
our hands in glory


Chorus 2:
                C#5
I'd breathe for you
                F#5
I'd breathe for you
                C#5
I'd breathe for you
                F#5
I'd breathe for you


Bridge:
         Bb5
Ain't it funny 
how life passes 
in the blink of
F5
innocent young eyes
        Ab5
So many names 
and faces change 
while others just
Eb5
lay back in disguise
Yeah I hope you 
Bb5
never thought that
                   F5
I was just another rotten
fair-weather friend
             Ab5
Let's try to make
up for lost time
                Eb5
let's make this last
until the end
          F#5
Until the end
          Ab5 (hold)
Until the end


Chorus 3:
                C#5
I'd breathe for you
                F#5
I'd breathe for you
                C#5
I'd breathe for you
                F#5
I'd breathe for you
                C#- - F#(hold)
I'd breathe for you
