intro : C#m Asus2 Bsus4

C#m
looking for reasons
Asus2 Bsus4
to believe instead of doubt
Bsus4
breathe in instead of out
there’s gotta be a reason

C#m
looking for answers
Asus2 Bsus4
for the poor and the pain
Bsus4
when they both start to feel the same
there’s gotta be a reason

A2 Aadd2
only one breath at a time she said

E5 Aadd2
all my tears are falling to the floor she said
C#m7 Aadd2
never felt it rain like this before she said
E5 add2
i’ll sing these black eye blues into the storm instead
C#m7 Bsus4 A2
i’ll be waiting for my new eyes to arrive ,
C#m Asus2 Bsus4
one breath at a time

( same as verse one )
and the kings and queens and little dreams
stuck inside these nightmares
sometimes , sometimes
and the fairy tales replay ,
seems so far away
from where we are tonight ,
sometimes

A2 add2
i hear her talking to herself in bed

E5 Aadd2
all my tears are falling to the floor she said
C#m7 Aadd2
never felt it rain like this before she said
E5 add2
i’ll sing these black eye blues into the storm instead
C#m7 Bsus4 A2
i’ll be waiting for my new eyes to arrive ,
C#m Asus2 Bsus4
one breath at a time

A2 E Aadd2
oh oh oh oh oh one breathe at a time
Badd11 A2
oh oh oh oh oh one breathe at a time
E Aadd2
oh oh oh oh oh one breathe at a time
Badd11 E5
oh oh oh oh oh and i’m holing on to you
Badd11
and i won’t let go
A2
my world is torn in two
add2
no i won’t let go
E
you’re the only thing that’s true
Badd11
in this old world of black eyed blues
disillusions , points of view

A2 Aadd2
when the pain cuts like a knife she said
A2 Aadd2
but i’m not giving up on life she said

( chorus chords and melody )
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh she said x3

C#m7 Bsus4 A2
i’ll be waiting for my new eyes to arrive
