[Intro 1]
[Dm][Em][Am][F][C]
[Dm][F][Em][Am][F]
If [Em]I cried like a baby,

[Verse 1]
[Dm]
[F]would you[C] change you[Am]r min[F]d?
If I [Em]told you I'm [Dm]crazy,
[F]would you com[Em]e running bac[Am]k to me?[C]
[F]The harder I t[Em]ry to break away,[Dm]
[F]the more I [Em]get lost in y[Am]es terd[G]ay[F]
The man that [Em]you k[Dm]new is
just [Em]a shell
'Cause living [Am]without
your life is hell
[Dm][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]
I turn on the [C]ra dio just to
[Dm]take [C]the hurt [G]away
Another night and I'm [C]missin' you,
girl, it's [Dm]killin' [Em]me[F]

[Verse 3]
[F]I don't wanna die tonight
But I [Am]think I might be going down
'Cause the [Dm]only one I ever
[F]car[Em]ed abo[G]ut
[F]Is nowhere to be fou[Gsus4]nd[F]
I don't wanna close my eyes
'Cause I [Am]might not see the
light of [C#dim]day
I'm [Dm]almost out of [Em]air
You're my reason [Am]for b[Bb]reathing
[Dm]You'[G]re my reason for[Dm]
[G]bre[Em]athin[G]g
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[F]I don't wan[C]na go clubbin[Dm]g
[F]No [Am]no, 'cause I got no
one to dance with [G]me[C]
[F]And I don't wan[Em]na go shoppin[Dm]g[F]
[Em]'Cause I got[G] no on[Am]e to spend
money [F]on[Em]
[Dm]Spending my [F]time with [Em]one
glass of [G]wine
[Am]Playing solitaire just [F]to ease
my [Am]mind[Em]
[Dm]Poured one for you,
[F]but I d[G]ran[Em]k that too[Am][Dm]
[Am]Anything to kill the pain of [Dm]losing you,
[F]oh, bab[C]y[G]

[Verse 5]
I turn on the [C]ra dio just [Dm]to take
[C]the hurt [G]away
Another night and I'm [C]missing you,
girl, it's [Dm]killin' [C]me[Gsus4][F]

[Verse 6]
I don't wanna die tonight
But I [Am]think I might be going down (I don't
wanna die tonight)
'Cause the [Dm]only one I
[F]ever [Am]cared about
Is [F]nowhere [G]to [F]be found
(Nowhere to be found)
I don't wanna close my eyes
'Cause I [Am]might not see the light of
day (She's the [C#dim]light of day)
I'm [Dm]almost [F]out [G]of air
[Em]You're [G]my [Bb]reason for b[G]reathing (You're my
[Dm]reas[F]on f[Em]or breathing)
[Am]You're my [F]rea[Dm]son for[F][Em]
[Am]breathing
[G]

[Verse 7]
[F][G]
So I'm [C]reaching out on this [G]distant line
Hoping [Am]deep inside your [G]heart's gonna
find the [F]reason [Gsus4](Yeah)
To keep [F]me [Am]breathing (Breathing,
[G]I'm [Am]so t[G]ired)
But I'm [C]lost in this pain,
and I [G]don't have much time
I'm [Am]so tired of walking
that [Gm]same old [C]line
So I'm [F]taking my pride,
gonna throw it [Em]aside[Am]
[Dm]Please, let me [C]breathe girl,
I'm [F]sorry (I'm sorry)

[Verse 8]
[F]I don't wanna die tonight
[Am]But I think I might be going down
'Cause [Dm]the only one I ever [Em]cared [G]about
[F](The only one I ever cared about)
[G]Is nowhere [F]to be found
(Nowhere, nowhere to be found)
I don't wanna close my eyes (I don't
wanna close my [Am]eyes)
'Cause I might not see the light
of [C#dim]day (Ooh)
[Dm]I'm almost out of air (I'm out of [Em]air,
I'm out [Am]of air, baby)
You're [Bb]my reason for breathing
[Dm]You'[G]re my reason for breathing

[Verse 9]
[F]I don't wanna die tonight
But I [Am]think I might be going down
'Cause the [Dm]only one I ever [Em]cared [C]about
Is [F]nowhere to be found (My reason
for breathing)
I don't wanna close [F]my eyes
'Cause I [Am]might not see the light of day (I might be going down,
baby)
I'm almost out of air
You're my reason for breathing
