[Verse 1]
APull back the cAsus2urtain cAsus4ome on Ain.
AThrough the stAsusain glass windows of wAsus4here I've bAeen.
DSome parts hD/C#oly. Some pD/Barts dD/Aark as sin.
AThe time has cAsus2ome to take Asus4off my mAask.
AWatch the scAsus2ars spill secrets frAsus4om my pastA.
DThis freak shD/C#ow won't dD/Befine who I D/Aam.
[Prechorus]
What I thought was Dsus2all of my life stAsus2ory.
Turns out it was Dsus2only just one pF#mage.
It's a new bDsus2eginning, I have got sAsus2o much left to sEay.
[Chorus]
I'm dying to brAeathe in every moment.
I’m dying to mE/G#ake up for lost time.
I’m dying to lF#met go and finally feel what real love Eis.
I'm dying to lAive.
[Verse 2]
ATo see those thAsus2ings I could nAsus4ever seeA,
Awhen they have alwAsus2ays been right in frAsus4ont of me.A  
To wrDite the sD/C#ong the wD/Borld forD/Aever sings.
APictures pAsus2ainted Asus4in the skAy. The wAonder Asus2in my cAsus4hild's Aeyes.
I'm lDearning hD/C#ow to flD/By with brD/Aoken wEings.
[Chorus]
I'm dying to brAeath in every moment.
I'm dying to mE/G#ake up for lost time.
I'm dying to lF#met go and finally feel what real love Eis.
I'm dying to stAart this whole thing over.
I'm dying to sE/G#ee with brand new eyes.
I'm dying to lF#move myself enough to just forgEive.
I'm dying to lAive.     Im dying to live.   F#mIm dying to live.   EIm dying to live
[Bridge]
I had to go to hDsus2ell to find my heAsus2aven
Forty feet I haDsus2d to fall from grF#mace
Everything’s so clDsus2ear when you've got Asus2one foot in the grEave
[Chorus]
I'm dying to brAeath in every moment.
I'm dying to mE/G#ake up for lost time.
I'm dying to lF#met go and finally feel what real love Eis.
I'm dying to stAart this whole thing over.
I'm dying to sE/G#ee with brand new eyes.
I'm dying to lF#move myself enough to just forgEive.
I'm dying to lAive.
