INTRO:
  [Am7] [Dadd9] [Am7] [Fmaj7]
VERSE 1:
  In the [Am7] quiet of the [Dadd9] shadow
  In the [Am7] corner of [Fmaj7] a room
  [Am7] Darkness moves [Dadd9] upon you
  Like a [Am7] cloud a-[Fmaj7]-cross the moon
  You're a-[Am7]-wearing all [Dadd9] the silence
  Of a [Am7] constant that [Fmaj7] will turn
  Like the [Am7] windmill left [Dadd9] deserted
  Or the [Am7] sun forever [Fmaj7] burn
CHORUS:
  So [Am7] don't [G6] forget [Fmaj7] to breathe [Csus2]
  Don't [Am7] [G6] forget to [Fmaj7] breathe [Csus2] 
  [Am7] [G6] Your whole life is here, no [Fmaj7] eleventh hour [Csus2] reprieve
  So don't [Am7] [G6] forget to breathe [Fmaj7] [E]
  Keep your head above water
  But don't forget to breathe
INSTRUMENTAL:
  [Am7] [Dadd9] [Am7] [Fmaj7]

VERSE 2:
  And all the [[Am7] suffering that you've [Dadd9] witnessed
  And the [Am7] hand prints on [Fmaj7] the wall
  They re-[Am7]-mind you how [Dadd9] it's endless
  How [Am7] endlessly [Fmaj7] you fall
  And the [Am7] answer that you're [Dadd9] seeking
  For the [Am7] question that [Fmaj7] you found
  Drives you [Am7] further to [Dadd9] confusion
  As you [Am7] lose your sense [Fmaj7] of ground
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL:
  [Am7] [Dadd9] [Am7] [Fmaj7]
  [Am7] Breathe... [Dadd9] [Am7] [Fmaj7]

FINALE:
  Just [Am7] breathe [Dadd9] [Am7] [Fmaj7]
  Just [Am7] breathe [Dadd9] [Am7] [Fmaj7]
  Just [Am7] breathe [Dadd9] [Am7] [Fmaj7]
  Just [Am7] breathe [Dadd9], just [Am7] breathe [Fmaj7]
