        C                             F 
Breathe me every time you close your eyes 
      C                    F 
Taste me every time you cry 
         C                        F 
This memory will fade away and die 
           C    
Just for today, breathe me and say goodbye 

C                      Am 
How many times? How many times? 
             G 
Now I can't look you in the eye 
             C 
Now I can't look you in the eye 
                       Am 
How many times? How many times? 
             C 
Now I can't look you in the eye 

    C                               F 
See me, in the eyes of another's child 
     C                               F 
Turn away, when you see me walking by 

Once in a while 
         C                      F 
This melody will fade away and die 
          C                                           
Just for today, breathe me and say goodbye 

C                     Am 
How many times? How many times? 
              G             
Now I can't look you in the eye 
              C 
Now I can't look you in the eye 
                      Am 
How many times? How many times? 
              G                F 
Now I can't look you in the eye 

                          Am 
And I don't even want to try 
    G       F 
My my, My my 
                                Am 
'Cause every word from you is a lie 
    G              C 
My my, My my 

C                    Am 
How many times? How many times? 
             G 
Now I can't look you in the eye 
              C 
Now I can't look you in the eye 
                      Am 
How many times? How many times? 
              G                  F 
Now I can't look you in the eye
