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
