Deep Breaths

E                         D                         A
  This is the story of a kid who never did learn how to breathe
        E6
But strangely enough
E                                        D                         A
Other Than That He Was Normal He Did Anything Other Kids Did Like Play Or Read
      E6
But There Was Something Wrong With Him

(pre Chorus)
     F#m
His lungs were too big,
     Faug
or maybe too small
      F#m
The doctors never figured it out,
     A                  D C#
so they did nothing at all

[Chorus]
            A                          D
They said take a deep breath but he couldn’t,
          A                         D
and they told him that his body shouldn’t,
         A
Be like this,
                                 D
But there was something in his chest,
                           Dm
And he was trying his damn best to fit in
                       A  Dm  A  Dm
with everyone who could breathe
A  Dm  A Dm
Breathe

[Verse]
E                        D                          A
Several Years Later He Decides To Run Away From Everything
     E6
His Home And His Family
     E                                    D               A
He Couldn’t Take The Pressure Both Quite Literally And Figuratively
    E6
His World Was Collapsing

(pre Chorus)
    F#m
He Doesn’t Know How
    Faug
To Cope With It All
        F#m                          A
‘Cause No One Ever Taught Him To Get Up
           D  C#
After The Fall

[Chorus]
            A                          D
They said take a deep breath but he couldn’t,
          A                         D
and they told him that his body shouldn’t,
         A
Be like this,
                                 D
But there was something in his chest,
                           Dm
And he was trying his damn best to fit in
                       A  Dm  A  Dm
with everyone who could breathe

(post Chorus)
A             Dm               A
People Don’t Understand How To Sympathize
      D                    A
It’s Something They Can’t Relate To
 Dm     A
What To Do
     Dm           A. Dm
In Someone Else’s Shoes

[Outro]
A D Dm
Breathe
     A D Dm
Just Breathe
