G                                     C 
Roses you left me, slowly fading to grey 
G                                                C 
Coat on the chair and the scent of your hair I miss 
G 
The clock on the wall 
                          C 
It reminds me of all the better times 
G 
When we walked in the park 
And we whispered in the dark 
C 
And we laughed and cried 
Am 
And I never knew alone 
C 
Wherever you are is home 
  
G 
Without your lips on mine 
No the sun doesn?t shine 
C 
And no I can't breathe, I can't breathe 
G 
Your words are a symphony 
Music that sings to me 
C 
No I can't breathe, I can't breathe 
G               Em     C 
I can't breathe 

G  
I walked by the store 
Where we sat on the floor 
C 
And we ate like kings 
G 
And then someone said hey, we're locking the door 
   C 
No time to play 
Am 
And I never knew alone 
C 
Wherever you are is home 
  
G 
Without your lips on mine 
No the sun doesn?t shine 
C 
And no I can't breathe, I can't breathe 
G 
Your words are a symphony 
Music that sings to me 
C 
No I can't breathe, I can't breathe 
G               Em     C 
I can't breathe 


G     Em        C    
      We're not over 
G     Em        C 
      We're not over 
  
G 
Without your lips on mine 
No the sun doesn?t shine 
C 
And no I can't breathe, I can't breathe 

  
G 
Without your lips on mine 
No the sun doesn?t shine 
C 
And no I can't breathe, I can't breathe 
G 
Your words are a symphony 
Music that sings to me 
C 
No I can't breathe, I can't breathe 
G               Em     C 
I can't breathe 

  
G     Em        C    
      We're not over 
G     Em        C 
      We're not over 
G                      Em    C 
No you are, no you are my love 
G 
Don't say it's over 
Don't say it's over 
Em        C    
We're not over 
G     Em        C 
      We're not over
