The Breath You Take

The Breath You Take   Intro.:  |  [Bm]   |  [G]   |  [Bm]   |  [A]   |
 [Bm] He looks up from second base,  [G] dad's up in the stands
He  [Bm] saw the hit, the run, the slide, there  [G] ain't no bigger fan
In the  [Em] parkin' lot after the game
He said  [F#m] "Dad I thought you had a plane to catch?"  [G]
He smiled and said "Yeah son, I did  [A]

But life's not the  [D] breath you take, the breath- [Em] in' in and out
That gets you  [Bm]  through the day, ain't what it's  [A] all about
You just might  [G] miss the point tryin' to  [Bm] win the race
Life's not the  [Em] breaths you take
But the  [A] moments that take your breath away  [D]   |  [Em]   |  [A]  ---

Fast  [Bm] forward fifteen years and a  [G] thousand miles away
Boy's  [Bm] built a life, he's got a wife and a  [G] baby due today
He  [Em] hears a voice sayin' "I made it, son"
Says "I  [F#m] told you, Dad, you didn't have to  [G] come"
He smiles and says "Yeah, I know you did  [A]
But life's not the  [D] breath you take, the breath- [Em] in' in and out
That gets you  [Bm]  through the day, ain't what its  [A] all about
You just might  [G] miss the point trying to  [Bm] win the race
Life's not the  [Em] breaths you take
But the  [A] moments that take your breath away  [G]
Just like it took my  Bm breath when she was born
Just like it  [Em] took my breath away when Dad  [A] took his last that morn
Life's not the breath [D]  you take, the breath- [Em] in' in and out
That gets you  [Bm]  through the day, ain't what its  [A] all about
Just might  [G] miss the point, if you don't slow  [Bm] down the pace
Life's not the  [Em] breaths you take
But the  [A] moments that take your breath away

Outro.:  |  [G]   |  [Bm]  Hmm, |  [A] hmm |  [D]
