Em                          Am
 You said goodbye, I fell apart
            C
I fell from all we had
      F#m7-5
To I never knew
   B7           Em
I needed you so bad
                   Am
You need to let things go
             C
I know, you told me so
     F#m7-5
I've been through hell
    B7
To break the spell

Am              C             G
Why did I ever let you slip away?
        C                    Am
Can't stand another day without you
             B7
Without the feeling I once knew

Chorus:
Em
 I cry silently
Am
 I cry inside of me
C
 I cry hopelessly
         F#m7-5          B7
'Cause I know I'll never breathe your love again
Em                                   Am
 I cry, 'cause you're not here with me
                          C
'Cause I'm lonely as can be
C
I cry hopelessly
         F#m7-5          B7                  Em
'Cause I know I'll never breathe your love again

Em                   Am
If you could see me now
            C
You would know just how
    F#m7-5
How hard I try
        B7
Not to wonder why?
Em                                   Am
I wish I could believe in something new
                                      C
Oh please somebody tell me it's not true, oh girl
              F#m7-5 B7
I'll never be over you

Am              C             G
Why did I ever let you slip away?
        C                    Am
Can't stand another day without you
             B7
Without the feeling I once knew

Chorus:
Em
 I cry silently
Am
 I cry inside of me
C
 I cry hopelessly
         F#m7-5          B7
'Cause I know I'll never breathe your love again
Em                                   Am
 I cry, 'cause you're not here with me
                          C
'Cause I'm lonely as can be
C
I cry hopelessly
          G             B7                  Em
'Cause I know I'll never breathe your love again

F                     G
 If I could have you back tomorrow
E/C#                  Am       G
 If I could lose the pain and sorrow
F                G
 I would do just anything
    C        Bm         F#m7-5
To make you see, still love me

'Cause I know I'll never breathe your love

Know, I'll never breathe your love again
