I want the air I breathed,

I feel a dawn in me, 
Em          C 
A tired man awoke, 
G        C  G       D 
An oppor-tu-nity, 
Em                  C 
To live the words I spoken, 


G             C                G 
I know I said tomorrow I'll be better than today, 
                 C            G

Verse 
G            C         G        D 
So here's my chance to say, 
Em               C          G 
I'm sorry for my bold ways, 
             C            G       D 
I feel like two different men, 
Em                     C 
The one who tries, the one who fails, 

Again and again, 

G             C                            G 
I know I said tomorrow will be better than today, 
                 C 
I guess I'm just beginning to learn the way, 
G             C                            G 
I know I said tomorrow will be better than today, 
                 C                       G 
I guess I'm just beginning to learn the way.
