   VERSE 1
   -------
   A                    E
   Don't pretend you're sorry
                 F#m
   I know you're not
                        D
   You know you got the power
              E      A
   To make me weak inside

   A                 E
   Girl you leave me breathless
            F#m
   But it's okay 
                    D
   Cause you are my survival
       E       A
   Now hear me say



   PRE CHORUS
   ----------
   A   
   I can't imagine
   D
   Life without your love
   A
   And even forever 
         D              E
   Don't seem like long enough


   CHORUS 1
   --------
   B                                    F#
   Cause everytime I breathe I take you in
                      Abm
   And my heart beats again
                E
   Baby I can't help it
               F#               B
   You keep me drowning in your love
    
   B                       F#
   Everytime I try to rise above
                     Abm
   I'm swept away by love
                E
   Baby I can't help it
               F#               B
   You keep me drowning in your love


   VERSE 2
   -------
   A           E
   Maybe I'm a drifter
           F#m
   Late at night
                        D
   Cause I long for the safety
              E              A
   Of flowing freely in your arms

   A                    E
   I don't need another lover
                F#m
   It's not for me
                           D
   Cause only you can save me
      E         A
   Oh can't you see
