The Breath You Take

Bm  G  Bm  G

[Verse 1]
    Bm                         G
He looks up from second base, Dad's up in the stands
    Bm                                    G
He saw the hit, the run, the slide, there ain't no bigger fan
       Em
In the parkin' lot after the game
         F#m                                     G
He said "Dad I thought you had a plane to catch?"
                                   A
He smiled and said "Yeah son, I did

[Chorus]
                   D                             Em
But life's not the breath you take, the breathin’ in and out
              Bm                                A
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
              G                        Bm
You just might miss the point tryin' to win the race
               Em
Life's not the breaths you take
        A                                 D    Em       A
But the moments that take your breath away

[Verse 2]
       Bm                          G
Fast forward fifteen years and a thousand miles away
        Bm                                G
Boy's built a life, he's got a wife and a baby due today
  Em
He hears a voice sayin' "I made it, son"
        F#m                               G
Says "I told you, Dad, you didn't have to come"
                                        A
He smiles and says "Yeah, I know you did

[Chorus]
                    D                            Em
But life's not the breath you take, the breathin’ in and out
              Bm                                A
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
               G                        Bm
You just might miss the point tryin' to win the race
                Em
Life's not the breaths you take
        A                                 G
But the moments that take your breath away

[Bridge]
                    Bm
Just like it took my breath when she was born
             Em                           A
Just like it took my breath away when Dad took his last that morn

[Chorus]
                    D                            Em
But life's not the breath you take, the breathin’ in and out
             Bm                                 A
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
              G                             Bm
You just might miss the point if you don’t slow down the pace
                Em
Life's not the breaths you take
       A
But the moments that take your breath away

[Outro]
G    Bm    A      D
     Hmmmmm, hmmmm
