[Verse]
[Am] After school,[C]school, walkin home
[D]Fresh dirt under my fingernails and
[Am] I can smell[C]smell hot asphalt
[D] Cars screech to a halt to let me pass
[Am] And I can[C]cannot remember
[D] What life was like through photographs
[Am] And trying [C]to recreate
[D]images life gives us from the past
[Am] [C] [D]
And sometimes its a sad song. But I
[Chorus]
[F] Cannot for[C]forget, refuse to re[Am]regret
So glad I [G]met you and
[F] Take my breath a[C]away
Make every[Am]everyday
Worth all of the [G]pain that I've gone through
[F] And mama, I've been cryin'
Cause [Am]things ain't how they used[G]used to be
She said, 'The [F]battle's almost won
And we're [Dm]only several m[E]i-les from the s[Am]un.[C]'
O-wo-[D]ho-o-o-o-o-[Am]oh, yeah[C] [D]
[Verse]
And I'm[Am]I'm movin on,[C]on, down my street
[D] I see people I won't ever meet
[Am] I think of her, take a breath
[D] Feel the beat in the rhythm of my [Am]steps
[Am] [C] [D]
And sometimes its a sad song. But I
[Chorus]
[F] Cannot for[C]forget, refuse to re[Am]regret
So glad I [G]met you and
[F] Take my breath a[C]away
Make every[Am]everyday
Worth all of the [G]pain that I've gone through
[F] And mama, I've been cryin'
Cause [Am]things ain't how they used[G]used to be
She said, 'The [F]battle's almost won
And we're [Ddim]only several mi-[E]mi-les from the sun[Am]sun.' [C]
[Bridge]
[Am] Rhythm of the conversation
[E7] The perfection of her creation
[Am] The sex she slipped into my coffee
[E7] The way she felt when she first saw me
[Am] Hate to love and love to hate her
[E7] Like a broken record player
[Am] Back and forth and here and gone
and [E7]on and on and on and on!
[Chorus]
[F] Cannot for[C]forget, refuse to re[Am]regret
So glad I [G]met you and
[F] Take my breath a[C]away
Make every[Am]everyday
Worth all of the [G]pain that I've gone through
[F] And mama, I've been cryin'
Cause [Am]things ain't how they used[G]used to be
She said, 'The [F]battle's almost won
And we're [Ddim]only several mi-[E]mi-i-i-iles
Said, 'The [F]battle's almost won
And we're o[Ddim]nly several mi-l[E]es from the sun.[Am]' [C]
Yea-[D]Yea-A...-A-[Am]A...-A-ah
