Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Breathless From the album The Lyre Of Orpheus TABBED BY: ROBERT HARFMANN [Intro] C G C G F G [Verse]
C               G                  C
It's up in the morning and on the downs

              G                     F
Little white clouds like gambolling lambs

         G               C
And I am breathless over you

                     G               C
And the red-breasted robin beats his wings

              G                F
His throat it trembles when he sings

          G               C
For he is helpless before you

                 G
The happy hooded bluebells bow

    C           G             F
And bend their heads all a-down

        G                    C
Heavied by the early morning dew

                  G                       C
At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook

           G                 F
The fishes leap up to take a look

             G               C
For they are breathless over you
[Chorus]
           G
Still your hands

               C
And still your heart

               G                  F
For still your face comes shining through

            G              C
And all the morning glows anew

           G
Still your mind

           C
Still your soul

               G               F
For still, the fire of love is true

         G                  C
And I am breathless without you
[Interlude] G C G F G [Verse]
C                G
The wind circles among the trees

       C               G              F
And it bangs about the new-made leaves

          G                  C
For it is breathless without you

                       G
And the fox chases the rabbit round

        C            G                 F
And the rabbit hides beneath the ground

          G                   C
For he is defenceless without you

                   G
The sky of daytime dies away

    C               G                      F
And all the earthly things they stop to play

               G                  C
For we are all breathless without you

               G
I listen to my juddering bones

    C                         G              F
The blood in my veins and the wind in my lungs

         G                     C
And I am breathless without you
[Chorus]
           G
Still your hands

               C
And still your heart

               G                  F
For still your face comes shining through

            G              C
And all the morning glows anew

           G
Still your soul

           C
Still your mind

               G                    F
For still, the fire of your love is true

         G                  C
And I am breathless without you
[Outro]
 F       G                     F            C
And I am breathless without you
