A wealthy man had the things I wanted
Gm                   D#           A#

D#         A#        Gm

Blue dress, satin black,
 A#                       Dm
taking every piece of my soul
D#           Cm
Blue dress, faded black,
 A#                          D7

Gm       Dm
Hold me, I'm not breathing
Gm       Dm             D# Cm
Hold me, I'm not breathing
 A#                       Dm
taking every piece of my soul
D#           Cm

 A#                          D7
look me in the eye as they close

Chorus

Hold me, I'm not breathing
Hold me, I'm not breathing
Hold me, I'm not breathing
Hold me, I'm not breathing
Hold me, I'm not breathing
Hold me, I'm not breathing
