and i remember that everyday
D G Em C D G
i get a little bit closer to you

these are the days

and when it’s quiet
D G
and i don’t hear a thing
Em C D G
i can always hear you breathe
( you know there’s nowhere else ) * this part comes in during the G chord ,
and the previous line ” . . . you breathe”

but don’t give up on me

and just remember that when you

were asleep
D G Em C D G
i got a little bit closer to you
Em C D G
you
