Verse

Welcome me into your family
You try to show me the other side
Show me what I've been missing
You try to give me your life
I'm not trying to be the rebel
Just want my God-given right
If I'm gonna fuck up my own life
I'm gonna do it right

Chorus

**piano transposed to guitar**
    F5       Bb5      C5

Chorus

And I was too far to stand with you tonight
And I was too lost to find my way home
    F5       Bb5    C

Chorus

There was just this breath of air between us
And I couldn't breathe

Verse 2

Verse 2

Sitting back for a moment
Thinking about a lifetime
Of being alone without you
Remember lying in your arms
One thousand feet off the ground
One thousand feet off the ground
The idea of jumping just never came up

Chorus

    F5       Bb5    C

Chorus

And I was too far to stand with you tonight
And I was too lost to find my way home
There was just this breath of air between us
And I couldn't breathe

Breathing in and breathing out
I feel the air escape my lungs

Taking what was on my back
From the other side we came out from

Maybe all I have is you

Your looking through me
Seeing inside me something I couldn't be

Standing on my ledge
Taking my jump
It wasn't the out that I need

There was just this breath of air between us
And I couldn't breathe

And I was too far to stand with you tonight
And I was too lost to find my way home
There was just this breath of air between us
