Artist: George Strait Song: The Breath You Take Tabbed by: philboy93 [Intro] 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
