Intro F  Am  C/G 

F 
If we wrote our story 
Am                    C/G 
We wouldnt be writing for very long 
F 
We'd skip the first chapters 
Am                        C/G 
And get to the climax and we'd stay forever 
F                   Am 
I would be timid at first until the whisky 
C/G 
Then id be timid no more 
F                         Am 
Couple charming looks and some funny words 
C/G 
I'd show you mine 
Em 
Youd show me yours too 

F 
Now I lie awake 
Am                      Em 
I died those nights you had me in your eyes

I want your name in my songs 
Em 
Your warmth in my lungs 
F 
I want to breathe you
