This one became a b-side to "I need you" single. Maybe it's one of the most difficult
and lyric songs of songs of Dave Gahan :)
It sounds like a ballad :)
Intro:
F# F E   G F# F
  F#A sudden calm inside of me
Now Feverything is Ebetter
ToGgether in a safe warm place
I reF#member when I Fmet you
  F#I took your hand
You guided me
FEven felt much cElever
  GBought your love
Soft and white
F#Just a soft pink Fletter
Dm F C
Chorus:
   EmBreGathe for me
  DBreAathe for me
   EmBreGathe for me
  DWe can be together
  AIf you breathe for me
F# F E   G F# F
  F#All the trees have lost their leaves
It's Fhard to lift my Eeyes
  GHaven't seen the sun for weeks now
  F#Is it day or Fnight?
  F#Can't remember where I met you
FDon't know if I'm Ehere
  GThink I need a little help to
F#Take away my Ffear
Dm F C
Chorus:
  EmBreGathe for me

 DWe can be together
 AIf you breathe for me

 DPut your hands in my hands
 AYou can bleed for me
 ACould you breathe for me?
That's all! :)
