[Intro]
E Am G F
[Verse]
You're a sAmtep away, just a breath away, I waGnt to let you in
You look lFike you're from heaven but it fEeels like you're a sin
I push yAmou away, almost every day, afGraid to feel like this
The preFsence of your torture is the aEbsence of your kiss
[Chorus]
AmBefore you go I'd Flike to hold you Gclose
and breEathe you in
AmOh before you go I'd lFike to let you knGow
That I lEove you
Oh I knAmow, you said "nFo" and noGw you're letting gEo
[Verse 2]
Your skin brusAmhes mine, is the rush just mine, I hGope you feel this too
my chFeeks are turning red now, why am EI quite so see-through
Would you cAmross the line, although you're not mine, my judGgement is impaired
The waFy my heart is racing is maEking me quite scared
[Chorus 2]
AmBefore you go I'd Flike to hold you Gclose
and breEathe you in
AmOh before you go I'd lFike to let you knGow
That I lEove you
Oh I knAmow, I said "Fno" and nGow you're letting Ego
M8:
So mCeet me after dEark AmunderneGath the gFreen AmcanoEpy
and knoCwing that we soon will paErt, you drAmaw your boGdy clFose Amto mEe
and you sEay so softly
[Chorus 3]
AmBefore I go I’d liFke to hold you clGose
And brEeath you in oh
(And breath you in)
AmBefore I go I’d lFike to let you kGnow
(I won’t forget your face)
That I lEove you oh
(It’s burned into my brain)
AmBefore I go I’d liFke to hold you clGose
(It’s breaking my heart to leave you like this)
And brEeath you in oh
(But I cannot stay)
AmBefore I go I’d lFike to let you knGow
(Oh how can I leave, leave you behind)
I loEve you oh
I knAmow you said nFo
But IG’m not letting Ego

[Intro]

E Am G F

[Verse]

Am G

You're a step away, just a breath away, I want to let you in

F E

You look like you're from heaven but it feels like you're a sin

Am G

I push you away, almost every day, afraid to feel like this

F E

The presence of your torture is the absence of your kiss

[Chorus]

Am F G

Before you go I'd like to hold you close

and breathe you in

Am F G

Oh before you go I'd like to let you know

That I love you

Am F G E

Oh I know, you said "no" and now you're letting go

[Verse 2]

Am G

Your skin brushes mine, is the rush just mine, I hope you feel this too

F E

my cheeks are turning red now, why am I quite so see-through

Am G

Would you cross the line, although you're not mine, my judgement is impaired

F E

The way my heart is racing is making me quite scared

[Chorus 2]

Am F G

Before you go I'd like to hold you close

and breathe you in

Oh before you go I'd like to let you know

That I love you

M8:

C E Am G F Am E

So meet me after dark underneath the green canopy

C E Am G F Am E

and knowing that we soon will part, you draw your body close to me

and you say so softly

[Chorus 3]

Am F G

Before I go I’d like to hold you close

And breath you in oh

(And breath you in)

Am F G

Before I go I’d like to let you know

(I won’t forget your face)

That I love you oh

(It’s burned into my brain)

Am F G

Before I go I’d like to hold you close

(It’s breaking my heart to leave you like this)

And breath you in oh

(But I cannot stay)
