Verse 
Cadd9 
Suspended in the air 
G 
I hear myself breathing 
Cadd9 
Hanging by a thread 
G 
My heart is barely beating 
Cadd9 
I haven't fallen yet 
G 
But I feel it comin' 
Cadd9 
Tell me would it be too much to ask 
G 
If you break it to me gently 
Cadd9 
And I'm waking the next day 
G 
WIthout you beside me 
Cadd9 
And you hold on to the day 
G 
Tomorrow will just be a memory 
Cadd9                    G 
That I would look back at all of this 
Cadd9 
And wonder why I stayed in here 
G 
Just to watch you disappear 
Am7              Bm7      Cadd9 
So I breathe and let you go

Cadd9 
So I'll just shut my eyes

Forget that you were mine

How do you go from making one your home

And I down away

I can't find the strength to let you go
