You Still Take My Breath Away

Capo Second Fret
Guitar stays in D during verses, except for noted descending bass notes.
D Db
the drugged down treasures
B - D
in your hands
G
a simple game of cat and mouse
G
that never goes as planned
D Db
we run in circles
B D
when we're not hiding in a haze
G
looking for a grain of something
G
that we'll pretend is praise
Bm7 E7 Gm7 D
you still take my breath away
E G
you make me linger
Bm7 E7 Gm7 D
you still take my breath away
E G
you bring me danger
D Db
Dancing on the edge
B D
And looking for the light
G
Questioning the reasons we go round again
G
And hoping things turn out right
D Db
As I recall
B D
You really seemed to like the rain
G
And used to laugh out loud
G
At things you won’t explain
Bm7 E7 Gm7 D
you still take my breath away
E G
you make me linger
Bm7 E7 Gm7 D
you still take my breath away
E G
you bring me danger
A A? A A? C E
A A9
Can’t shake the feeling
A A9
We’ve been down this road before
C E
Growing into recollection
F#m Bb
Only makes me question more
D Dbm
Once wrote a letter
E F#m B
Wondering if you’d want to hear
D Dbm
stories that you missed
E7 F#m B7 E
And why things reappear
F#m B
Leaving something somewhat sudden
D
Lost in dreams you find becoming
D Dbm E7 F#m-B7-E
D Db
Even stones crumble
B D
With the rain
G
Touched by your presence dear
G
Coy words and long refrains
D Db
we run in circles
B D
when we're not hiding in a haze
G
looking for a grain of something
G
that we'll pretend is praise
Bm7 E7 Gm7 D
you still take my breath away
E G
you make me linger
Bm7 E7 Gm7 D
you still take my breath away
E G
you bring me danger
