One word turns into a

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

E
If I should die before I wake
Bm
It's 'cause you took my breath away
D
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
A
Oh

E
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
Bm
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
D                                        A
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

But how do you expect me
                        D
to live alone with just me

'Cause my world revolves around you

Can't live, can't breathe with no air
D                                      A
It's how I feel when I know you ain't there
        E       Bm
It's no air, no air
E                               Bm
Got me out here in the water so deep

Tell me how you gonna be without me

Right off the ground to float to you

There's no gravity to hold me down for real

But somehow I'm still alive inside

You took my breath, but I survived

I don't know how, but I don't even care

   E                 Bm
So how do you expect me

to live alone with just me

There was a time I packed my dreams away
                    C                              Fmaj7
Living in a shell, hiding from myself.
C                                                  Am
There was a time when I was so afraid
                                          C
I thought I'd reached the end.
                              Fmaj7
Baby, that was then.
                              C                        Am      G
But I am made of more than my yesterdays.

This is my now,

And I am breathing in the moment.

As I look around,

I can't believe the love I see.

My fear's behind me,

That was then.

I had to decide.
               C                  Fmaj7
Was I gonna play it safe?
C                                       Am
Or look somewhere deep inside,
                        C
Try to turn the tide.
                                         Fmaj7              G
Find the strength to take that step of faith?

I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G

             F                    C                G

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

In spite of ourselves
                             C
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
             G
Against all odds
                          C
Honey, we're the big door prize
             F
We're gonna spite our noses
                 C
Right off of our faces
                                    G
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
               C     G   C
Dancin' in our eyes.
