      A
I've watched those eyes
                  E
light up with a smile
                          B
River in the not good times
                              C#m
Oh, you taught me all that I know
      A                               E
I've seen your soul grow just like a rose
                                   B
Made it through all of those thorns
                        C#m
Girl into the woman I know

          A                          E
And it's killing me, me to say "I'm fine," "I'm fine"
        B
When I really mean, mean to say..

Chorus:
          A
You're my all and more
        E              B      C#m
All I know you taught me, yeah
          A
You're my all and more
       E             B        C#m
But I need room to breathe, yeah

I found New York laying in your arms
We'll melt into the bedroom floor
Never knew I'd stay for so long
And this truth cuts not through one, but both
Not through one, but both of us
But it's deeper if I hold on

And it's killing me, me to say "I'm fine," "I'm fine"
When I really mean, mean to say...

Chorus

         A          E           B
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh
                                       C#m
Gotta breathe for me, it's now or never
                                       A
Gotta breathe for me, it's now or never
         E          B
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh,
I should leave, 'cause you deserve better, better
        A
Gave my all and more
       E
But I need room to be me

Chorus:
You're my all and more
All I know you taught me, yeah (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
You're my all and more
But I need room to breathe, yeah
(Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh)

Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh
(Breathe)
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh
(Breathe)
