[Intro]
Em C D Am Em C D


[Verse 1]
Em  C       G          D
  I cannot speak I can barely hear you
Em   C            G        D
  My world spins around in silent slow
    Em      C            G          D
mode  Could you please repeat these words
            Em          C        D         Am
I swear you now seem to utter so softly to me


[Refrain 1]
   C
Confusion stares blankly as you
D                    C
ask if I do Your frustration is
                      D
confirmation that you said I love you


[Chorus 1]
          Em                 C
Please forgive me I was just catching
   G      D             Em
my breath Blown away by every part
   C           G     D
of life making sense Shaken by the
Em                C
dream that we're sleeping the
G           D            A
four letter word that is all
Am         D      Em  C D A
hopelessly gone I fall


[Verse 2]
Em     C               G       D
  This coffee is still hot but time
         Em    C        G
is frozen I'd say makes you but
D              Em  C
that's unspoken  I wish that this
G          D               Em
shot could be replaced Whenever
   C             G              Am
we lose sight of all that we've got


[Refrain 1]
  C
Illusion is now real but the
D                           C
shock is still here I do my best
           C
to keep control and fight
     D
back ten million tears


[Chorus 2]
          Em                 C
Please forgive me I was just catching
   G      D             Em
my breath Blown away by every part
   C           G     D
of life making sense Shaken by the
Em                C
dream that we're sleeping the
G           D            A
four letter word that is all
Am         D
hopelessly gone


[Chorus 3]
          Em                 C
Please forgive me I was just catching
   G      D             Em
my breath Blown away by every part
   C           G     D
of life making sense Shaken by the
Em                C
dream that we're sleeping the
G           D            A
four letter word that is all
Am
hopelessly gone


[Bridge]
Eb             F        G
Fall into your arms so scared
   G
so please don't hurt me
Eb           F
Know that my heart will stay
G
here and is safe with you
Eb          F          G
I can't say all that I feel
   Bb                 C
so take this kiss for all
            C
the words I mean to offer you


[Instrumental]
Em C G D


[Verse 3]
          Em
Please forgive me I was
C           D     A
catching my breath
   C
Confusion stares blankly
       D        D
as you ask if I do


[Chorus 4]
          Em                 C
Please forgive me I was just catching
   G      D             Em
my breath Blown away by every part
   C           G     D
of life making sense Shaken by the
Em                C
dream that we're sleeping the
G           D            A
four letter word that is all
Am         D
hopelessly gone


[Chorus 5]
          Em                 C
Please forgive me I was just catching
   G      D             Em
my breath Blown away by every part
   C           G      D
of life making sense awoken by the
Em                C
dream that we're sleeping the
G           D            A
four letter word that is all
Am         D    Em
hopelessly gone I fall
