Verse

B minorBm              G+G
He looks up from second base dad`s up in the stands
  B minorBm                 G+G
He saw the hit the run the slide there ain`t no bigger fan
    E minorEm
In the parkin` lot after the game
    F# minorF#m                  G+G
He said Dad I thought you had a plane to catch
                 A augmentedA A7A7
He smiled and said Yeah son I did

Chorus

          D MajorD            E minorEm
But life`s not the breath you take the breathin` in and out
       B minorBm               A augmentedA     A7A7
That gets you through the day ain`t what it`s all about
        G+G            B minorBm
You just might miss the point tryin` to win the race
        E minorEm
Life`s not the breaths you take
    A augmentedA      A7A7        D MajorD  E minorEm A augmentedA A7A7
But the moments that take your breath away


Verse

   B minorBm             G+G
Fast forward fifteen years and a thousand miles away
   B minorBm                 G+G
Boy`s built a life he`s got a wife and a baby due today
  E minorEm
He hears a voice sayin` I made it son
    F# minorF#m               G+G
Says I told you Dad you didn`t have to come
                    A augmentedA A7A7
He smiles and says Yeah I know you did

Chorus

          D MajorD            E minorEm
But life`s not the breath you take the breathin` in and out
       B minorBm               A augmentedA     A7A7
That gets you through the day ain`t what its all about
        G+G            B minorBm
You just might miss the point trying to win the race
        E minorEm
Life`s not the breaths you take
    A augmentedA      A7A7        G+G
But the moments that take your breath away


Bridge

           B minorBm
Just like it took my breath when she was born

Just like it took my breath away when Dad took his last that morn`


Outro

        D MajorD             E minorEm
Life`s not the breath you take the breathin` in and out
       B minorBm               A augmentedA     A7A7
That gets you through the day ain`t what its all about
      G+G                B minorBm
Just might miss the point if you don`t slow down the pace
        E minorEm
Life`s not the breaths you take
    A augmentedA      A7A7        G+G    B minorBm  A augmentedA  A7A7 D MajorD
But the moments that take your breath away   Hmmm Hmmm
