Pre Chorus (add baby finger on high G with all chords except D)
Let me [G]catch my [Am]breath to [Em/B]breathe then [D]reach [C]across the [Em/B]bend
[G]Just to [Am]know we're [Em/B]safe, I [D]am a [C]grateful [Am]man
The [G]slightest [Am]bit of [Em/B]light and [D]I can [C]see you [Em]clear
Chorus
Oh, [Am]had to take your [Am]hand, and [C]feel your [G]breath
For fear this [Dm]someday will be over
[Am]I pull you [C]close, so much to [G]lose
Knowing that, [Dm]nothing lasts forever [Em]
[F]I didn't [C]care, before you were [G]here
I danced in laughter, [Dm]with the ever after [Em]
[F]But all things [C]change, let this [G]remain

And [G]if you [Am]choose to [Em/B]stay, I'll [D]wait, I'll [C]under[Em]stand
Chorus
Oh, [Am]it's a fragile [Am]thing, this [C]life we [G]lead
If I think too [Dm]much, I can get over-
[Am]Whelmed by the [C]grace, by which we [G]live our lives
With [Dm]death over our shoulders [Em]
[F]Want you to [C]know, that should I [G]go
I always loved you, [Dm]held you high above too [Em]
[F]I studied your [C]face, the fear goes [G]away
