[Verse 1]
Cadd9Suspended in the air
I hear myself Gbreathing
Cadd9Hanging by a thread
My heart is Gbarely beating
Cadd9I haven't fallen yet
But I feel it Gcomin'
Tell me Cadd9would it be too much to ask
If you Gbreak it to me gently
That I'm Cadd9waking the next day
Without you beGside me
And who I Cadd9hold onto today
Tomorrow will Gjust be a memory
That Cadd9I will look back at all Gof this
And Cadd9wonder why I stayed in here
GJust to watch you disappear
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So I Ambreathe and G/Blet you Cadd9go
How do I Ambreathe and G/Blet you Cadd9go?
[Chorus 1]
Before it's too Cadd9late
I'll take a step Gaway
I know one word would Ammake me go
Rushing back to G/Byou
So I'll just shut my Cadd9eyes
Forget that you were Gmine
How do you go from Ammaking one your home
And then just G/Bletting it all go
Let me Dtake it in
BeCadd9fore  G/Bit  Amsinks in
[Verse 2]
Cadd9Far beyond my reach
Is the future you Gpromised
Now what I Cadd9never even had
I have every Greason to miss
And I Cadd9don't know
Where I could find the Gstrength to let you go
When the Cadd9only life I've come to know
GPacked his bags and left me AmaloG/BneCadd9  
He found another AmhomG/BeCadd9  
[Chorus 2]
So before it's too Cadd9late
I'll take a step Gaway
I know one word would Ammake me go
Rushing back to G/Byou
And I'll just shut my Cadd9eyes
Forget that you were Gmine
How do you go from Ammaking one your home
And then just G/Bletting it all go
Let me Dtake it in
BeCadd9fore  G/Bit  Amsinks in
Cadd9Ohhhhh..G.

Before it's too Cadd9late
I'll take a step Gaway
I know one word would Ammake me go
Rushing back to G/Byou
I'll just shut my Cadd9eyes
Forget that you were Gmine
How do you go from Ammaking one your home
And then just G/Bletting it all go
Let me Dtake it in

[Verse 1]

Cadd9

Suspended in the air

I hear myself breathing

Cadd9

Hanging by a thread

My heart is barely beating

Cadd9

I haven't fallen yet

But I feel it comin'

Cadd9

Tell me would it be too much to ask

If you break it to me gently

Cadd9

That I'm waking the next day

Without you beside me

Cadd9

And who I hold onto today

Tomorrow will just be a memory

Cadd9 G

That I will look back at all of this

Cadd9

And wonder why I stayed in here

Just to watch you disappear

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Am G/B Cadd9

So I breathe and let you go

Am G/B Cadd9

How do I breathe and let you go?

[Chorus 1]

Cadd9

Before it's too late

I'll take a step away

I know one word would make me go

G/B

Rushing back to you

Cadd9

So I'll just shut my eyes

Forget that you were mine

How do you go from making one your home

G/B

And then just letting it all go

Let me take it in

Cadd9 G/B Am

Before it sinks in

[Verse 2]

Cadd9

Far beyond my reach

Is the future you promised

Cadd9

Now what I never even had

I have every reason to miss

Cadd9

And I don't know

Where I could find the strength to let you go

Cadd9

When the only life I've come to know

G Am G/B Cadd9

Packed his bags and left me alone

Am G/B Cadd9

He found another home

[Chorus 2]

Cadd9

So before it's too late

I'll take a step away

I know one word would make me go

G/B

Rushing back to you

Cadd9

And I'll just shut my eyes

Forget that you were mine

How do you go from making one your home

G/B

And then just letting it all go

Let me take it in

Before it sinks in

Cadd9 G

Ohhhhh...

Cadd9 G

Go...

Ohhhhh...

Cadd9

Go...

[Chorus 3]

Before it's too late

I'll take a step away

I know one word would make me go

G/B

Rushing back to you

Cadd9

I'll just shut my eyes

Forget that you were mine

How do you go from making one your home

G/B

And then just letting it all go

Let me take it in
