[Intro] A E B C#m A E [Verse 1]
C#m                                        E
Where does the fire begin and where does it go?

G#                                         E
How do you finally decide when it's time to let go?

A                                                     E
Fear is the feeling inside that you're not supposed to show

B            C#m    B E
I'm losing you
[Chorus 1]
       A                                            E
I was looking for some kind of friend, some kind of mercy

         B                   G#               C#m          B E
But the one that I wanted the most haunts and deserts me

      A            E
Your last words to me were, "Keep breathing"

F#        B                               A
So I'm breathing in the breath you left behind
[Verse 2]
C#m                                       E
All of the times that we've had, they go to my head

G#                                       E
I'm spinning in images left, words left unsaid

      A                                           E
I'm mourning the mornings I'm missing with you instead

B          C#m   B E
I'm losing you
[Chorus 2]
  A                                               E
People keep spitting out words like they were the cancer

         B                     G#                    C#m       B E
But the word that I still haven't heard is some form of answer

       A                 E
Your last words were, "Please, keep breathing"

        B                                   A
So I'm breathing in the breath you left behind

       B                               A        E
I'm breathing in the breath you left behind

     F#m       B                     C#m       E
I'm breathing in the breath you left behind

            A
You left behind
[Instrumental] A E B C#m A E B [Verse 3]
C#m                                      E
Words are what elegies say when they're unsure

 B                       G#                            C#m     B E
Words are what relatives say 'cause they've heard them before

     A                                     E
But none of these elegant words make any sense anymore

B          C#m  B E
I'm losing you
[Chorus 3]
A                                             E
None of the words that I heard I could believe in

B                               G#                        C#m   B E
'Cause none of the words that I heard made sense of you leaving

       A           E
Your last words to me were, "Keep breathing"

         B                                 A
So I'm breathing in the breath you left behind

            B                                A
Yeah, I'm breathing in the breath you left behind

          F#m                B               A
Yeah, I'm breathing in the breath you left behind

            A
You left behind
[Outro] A E B C#m B E A E B C#m B E A E B C#m B E A E B E
