[Intro] F#m7 G#m7 C#m7 Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7 G#m7 C#m7 [Verse]
Amaj7 G#m7        F#m7         G#m7            C#m7
 If I cried like a baby, would you change your mind?

Amaj7 G#m7         F#m7             G#m7         C#m7
 If I told you I′m crazy, would you come running back to me?

Amaj7     G#m7          F#m7                   F#m7      C#m7
The harder I try to break away, the more I get lost in yesterday

Amaj7 G#m7        F#m7           G#m7
The man that you knew is just a shell

                      C#m7
'Cause living without your life is hell
F#m7 E B/D# [Pre-Chorus]
                E           F#m7  E   B/D#      B
I turn on the radio just to take the hurt away

                       E                   F#m7   E/G# B11
Another night and I′m missin' you, girl, it's killin′   me
[Chorus]
Amaj7
I don′t wanna die tonight

       C#m7
But I think I might be going down

           F#m7             G#m7
'Cause the only one I ever cared about

  Amaj7           B11
Is nowhere to be found

Amaj7
I don′t wanna close my eyes

        C#m7
'Cause I might not see the light of day

  F#m7            G#m7
I′m almost out of air

                        Dmaj7         B
You're my reason for breathing

                           F#m7   G#m7   C#m7
You′re my reason for breathing
[Verse]
Amaj7         G#m7    F#m7
 I don't wanna go clubbing

   G#m7                       C#m7
No no, 'cause I got no one to dance with me

Amaj7        G#m7         F#m7
  And I don′t wanna go shopping

G#m7                    C#m7           Amaj7 G#m7
′Cause I got no one to spend money on

F#m7                   G#m7
Spending my time with one glass of wine

    C#m7                 Amaj7   G#m7
Playing solitaire just to ease my mind

F#m7                    G#m7
Poured one for you, but I drank that too

  C#m7                    F#m7          E       B/D#
Anything to kill the pain of losing you,  oh, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
                E           F#m7  E   B/D#      B
I turn on the radio just to take the hurt away

                       E                   F#m7   E/G# B11
Another night and I′m missin' you, girl, it's killin′   me
[Chorus]
Amaj7
I don′t wanna die tonight

       C#m7
But I think I might be going down

           F#m7             G#m7
'Cause the only one I ever cared about

  Amaj7           B11
Is nowhere to be found

Amaj7
I don′t wanna close my eyes

        C#m7
'Cause I might not see the light of day

  F#m7            G#m7
I′m almost out of air

                        Dmaj7         B
You're my reason for breathing                (You′re my reason for breathing)

                           F#m7   G#m7   C#m7
You′re my reason for breathing
Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7 G#m7 C#m7 Amaj7 B [Bridge]
E                   B/D#
So I′m reaching out on this distant line

      C#m7               B                       Amaj7         B
Hoping deep inside your heart's gonna find the reason (Yeah)

                C#m7              B   C#m7    B/D#
To keep me breathing (Breathing, I′m   so    tired)

        E                     B/D#
But I'm lost in this pain, and I don't have much time

  C#m7                        B          E
I′m so tired of walking that same old line

A                       G#m7
So I′m taking my pride, gonna throw it aside

F#m7              G#m7            B11
Please, let me breathe girl, I'm sorry (I′m sorry)
[Chorus]
Amaj7
I don′t wanna die tonight

       C#m7
But I think I might be going down

           F#m7             G#m7
'Cause the only one I ever cared about

  Amaj7           B11
Is nowhere to be found

Amaj7
I don′t wanna close my eyes

        C#m7
'Cause I might not see the light of day

  F#m7            G#m7
I′m almost out of air

                        Dmaj7         B
You're my reason for breathing            You′re my reason for breathing
[Outro]
Amaj7
I don′t wanna die tonight

       C#m7
But I think I might be going down

           F#m7             G#m7
'Cause the only one I ever cared about

  Amaj7           B11
Is nowhere to be found

Amaj7
I don′t wanna close my eyes

        C#m7
'Cause I might not see the light of day

  F#m7            G#m7
I′m almost out of air

                        Dmaj7         B
You're my reason for breathing

                           F#m7   G#m7   C#m7
You′re my reason for breathing                   (fade out)
