[Intro]: C D Em x2
Staring [C]out at the [D]rain with a [Em]heavy heart
It's the [C]end of the [D]world in my [Em]mind
Then your [C]voice pulls me [D]back like a wake[Em] up call
[Am]I've been looking for the [F]answer, [G]somewhere
[Am]I couldn't see that it was [F]right there
[C]But now I know what I[Gsus4] didn't know[G]
Because you[D] [E]live and [F#m]breathe
Because you make me [D]believe in [E]myself when [F#m]nobody else can help
Because you [D]live [E]girl,[E/G#] my [A]world has [F#m7]twice as [E]many stars in the [Dsus2]sky
It's [C]alright, I [D]survived, I'm alive[Em] again
Cause of [C]you, made it [D]through every [Em]storm
What is [C]life, what's the [D]use if you're [Em]killing time
[Am]I'm so glad I found an [F]angel, [G]someone
[Am]Who was there when all my [F]hopes fell
[C]I wanna fly, [Gsus4]looking in your eyes[G]
Because you[D] [E]live and [F#m]breathe
Because you make me [D]believe in [E]myself when [F#m]nobody else can help

[Cm7]I want to [Bb]give what you've given me [Bb][Ab]always[F7]
Because you[F] [G]live and [Am]breathe
