Chords

[Verse 1]
G         Cadd9
Once in a while,

  Em7  D  G
I see myself.

G
No longer enchanted

       Cadd9
By the future or the past,

  Em7    D   Cadd9   G
I break the spell.
[Verse 2]
G         Cadd9
Once in a while,

     Em7 D   G
It’s crystal clear,

G
The shadows, the light,

       Cadd9
Even my scars overnight

    Em7 D  Cadd9   G
They disappear
[Chorus]
   Cadd9           G
If every breath is sacred,

Cadd9          G
God, I want to breathe.

Cadd9           G        Cadd9
Deep enough to feel something,

Cadd9       G     D
Deep enough to believe
[Verse 3]
G         Cadd9
Once in awhile

   Em7 D     G
It all sinks in,

G
I try to keep my head

          Cadd9
Above the water

               Em7 D    Cadd9   G
God knows, but I can’t swim.
[Verse 4]
G
Once in a while,

Em7   D    G
I put up a fight-

G
I write another song

                 Cadd9
And sing it with all my might,

    G
Renegotiate the terms

        Cadd9
Of this terminal life,

     Em7 D  Cadd9   G
I put up a fight.
[Chorus]
   Cadd9 Em7       G
If every breath is sacred,

Cadd9   Em7     G
God, I want to breathe.

Cadd9   Em7     G        Cadd9
Deep enough to feel something,

Cadd9   Em7  G     D
Deep enough to believe

        Cadd9 Em7       G
Then if every breath is sacred,

Cadd9   Em7     G
God, I want to breathe.

Cadd9   Em7     G        Cadd9
Deep enough to feel something,

Cadd9   Em7  G     D
Deep enough to believe
[Bridge]
               Cadd9               G
Please show me how to breathe deep

               Cadd9               G
Please show me how to breathe deep
[Chorus]
   Cadd9           G
If every breath is sacred,

Cadd9          G
God, I want to breathe.

Cadd9           G        Cadd9
Deep enough to feel something,

Cadd9       G     D
Deep enough to believe
