All my Csand castles fall
like the ashes of D/F#cigarettes
And Devery waves drags me to Emsea D/F#  
I could sGtand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
"Is Emeveryone here make-believe?"
With a Ctear in His voice
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Does this Ddeafening silence
mean nothing to no one but me?
Bridge:
And you'll Csing to me sweet until Gthen
I may Cnever sail Virginia aGgain
Alas this Ccurrent moves sDlow for me
B/Eb Em(hold) C
this much you must know...we'll meet again
C(hold)
And I'll, I'll have you know I'm scared to death
CTell me once again that you
will Emlove me till the D/F#death
And should I Gdie, you swear
that Dyou will come for Cme
Em D/F#-G-D
As I fade away, you reach out your arms
(And Cplease don't let me go)
And Emplease D/F#don't Glet Dme go
(And Cplease don't let me go)
And Emplease D/F#don't Glet Dme go
(Repeat Chorus 1)

Verse 1: Do intro riff
And we Gsaid it would be funny
to keep me hanging in suspense
Then I'd C9run over to your house
and I'd scale the chainlink fence
That Em7borders your back yard and
then I'd climb through your window
And I'd C9whisper that I love you
as you fall out of your clothes
And we'd Glay there in the
darkness like the dream of you I had
Where we C9captured all the
fireflies and knew what time we had
Could be Em7counted on our fingertips
that almost made you cry
You C9let me hold you tightly
as we said all our goodbyes
Refrain 1:
C9May I say I loved you Em7more
C9May I say I loved you Em7more
Interlude: C9  
Verse 2:
And it Gmust of been and hour
that I clutched you in my arms
And I C9must have said the right
things because you instantly felt warm
And you Em7heard my heart stop
beating and you wanted not to cry
As your C9sympathetic whispers
they told a tale of bad goodbyes
And You sGwore you saw me laughing
and I swore I saw you smile
And this C9time we've spent together
was meant to last us quite a while
As I Em7take this piece of you with
me I'll carry to my grave
C9Knowing that for someone you're
an angel sent to save
Refrain 2:
(Keep Breathing my angel
if you go down I go with you)
C9May I saw I loved you Em7more
(Keep Breathing
Just Keep Breathing)
(Keep Breathing my angel
if you go down I go with you)
C9May I saw I loved you Em7more
(Keep Breathing
Just Keep Breathing)
