🎸 Intro:
F  Dm   C F   Dm   C


🎸 Verse 1:
F                  Dm        Gm             A7
  We are still all right, we took it on the chin,
    Dm                      Bb          F     C
But in the thirteenth hour, no one ever wins, but
F               Dm          A7
  We're strong enough, like traffic all tied up,
    Dm                          Bb           F     C

🎸 Chorus:
Db             Ab                 Eb
  I stop and I breathe ‘cause you wanted me.
Db             Ab     Gb
  And I wanted you so bad.
Eb                 Bb               F
  And I stop and I breathe ‘cause I still believe
       Eb                   Ab         Bb
No one really knows what it is that we have


🎸 Verse 2:
     F          Dm       A7

    Gm             Dm            Bb             F          C
And in the darkest long night we turned it all around, and it was
F             Dm        A7
  Coal-dusted snow that covered the fields,
        Bb            Dm            Gm     F       C
But the corn it still grew, and the injury healed, and I


🎸 Chorus:
Db             Ab                 Eb
  I stop and I breathe ‘cause you wanted me.
Db             Ab     Gb
  And I wanted you so bad.
Eb                 Bb               F
  And I stop and I breathe ‘cause I still believe
       Eb                   Ab         Bb   C
No one really knows what it is that we have

  And I wanted you so bad.
Eb                 Bb               F

       Eb                   Ab         Bb
No one really knows what it is that we have.
