(start strumming chords)
A2/F#Only one breath at a A2time she said
Chorus: (strum chords)
E5All my tears are falling on the Aadd2floor she said
I've C#m7never felt it Bsus4rain like this bA2efore she said
I'll E5sing these black eyed blues into the Aadd2storm instead
I've been wC#m7aiting for the Bsus4new eyes to aA2rrive,
One breath at a timC#meBsus4
One breath at a timA2eA2
Verse 2: (chords same as verse one, this time strum)
KC#mings and queens and little dreams
Get Bsus4stuck inside of nightmares
SomA2etimes, sometA2imes
And thC#me fairy tales she play,
seem so Bsus4far away
from where she was tA2onight,
sometA2imes
A2/F#I hear her talking to A2herself in bed
E5All my tears are falling on the Aadd2floor she said
I've C#m7never felt it Bsus4rain like this bA2efore she said

A2/F# (straight into bridge)
One breath at a time
Bridge:
Oh oh oE5h oh oh one breath at a Aadd2time
Oh oh oBadd11h oh oh one breath at a A2/F#time
Oh oh oE5h oh oh oh oAadd2h oh
Oh oh Badd11oh and I'm holding onto E5you
And I won't let Badd11go
You're the one that I can't A2/F#lose
And I won't let Aadd2go
You're the only thing that's tErue
In this old world of black eyed Badd11blues
And disillusion, points of A2view
And I won't let gA2/F#o
The pain feels like a A2knife
A2/F#But I'm not giving up on A2life
Chorus 2: (for this chorus use original picking pattern)
E5All my tears are falling on the A2floor she said
I've C#mnever felt it Bsus4rain like this A2before she said

She said, she said
Final Chorus: (start strumming again, same pattern as original chorus)
E5All my tears are falling on the Aadd2floor she said
I've C#m7never felt it Bsus4rain like this beA2fore she said
I'll E5sing these black eyed blues into the Aadd2storm instead
I've been wC#m7aiting for the Bsus4new eyes to aA2rrive
One breath at a timA2e...
One breath at a time
