             C#
You fought a long
            F#
long losing war
You've seen a
C#             F#
time of better days
         C#
Yeah but through it
all you stood up tall
          F#
You never cowered in fear
             C#
You'd always ante up
when times were tough
          F#
You never gave up on me

               G#
In this wicked game
of life and death
          F#
I would play my
hand if I could

Chorus:
                C#
I'd breathe for you
                F#
I'd breathe for you
                C#
I'd breathe for you
                F#
I'd breathe for you
                C#--F#--
I'd breathe for you

               C#
You've seen it all
                  F#
it's all come and gone
             C#
Through the smiles
           F#
and bitter tears
                C#
Through all the endless
nights you'd stay
up fighting
        F#
Just to make it
until dawn
         C#
Another round of
shots a bigger pot
            F#
Lies on the table waiting

               G#
In this wicked game
of life and death
Let's throw down
    F#
our hands in glory

Chorus:
                C#
I'd breathe for you
                F#
I'd breathe for you
                C#
I'd breathe for you
                F#
I'd breathe for you

         A#m
Ain't it funny
how life passes
in the blink of
F/A
innocent young eyes
        G#
So many names
and faces change
while others just
D#/G
lay back in disguise
Yeah I hope you
A#m
never thought that
                   F/A
I was just another rotten
fair-weather friend
             G#
Let's try to make
up for lost time
                D#/G
let's make this last
until the end
          F#
Until the end
          G#
Until the end

Chorus:
                C# F#
I'd breathe for you
                C# F#
I'd breathe for you
                C# F#
I'd breathe for you
                C# F#
I'd breathe for you
                C# F# C# F#
I'd breathe for you
