Intro: G Bm D G 
 
verse 1 
G                Bm 
Every word's so 
Bm                       D 
Every word's so fragile 
D                                  G 
Inside passion that feels like chasing rain 
G                               Bm 
When the slowness of the day is gone 
Bm                              D         G 
Leaving shadow-like feelings to depend upon 
 
Pre-Chorus 
G                Bm 
Every word's so 
Bm                       D 
Every word's so fragile 
D 
Inside passion that feels like chasing rain 
 
   G       C    Am   C        G 
Oh-ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh 
    C          Am       C    G 
You sleep like breathing 
    C          Am       C   N.C. 
You sleep like breath - gently 
 
Break 
G Bm D G 
 
verse 2 
G 
And the tease cries 
Bm                        D 
Weeping listless laughter 
D                                 G 
Always thirsty like an attractive flower 
G                               Bm 
When the danger in the touch is gone 
Bm                              D           G 
Changing delicate evenings to reflecting ones 
 
Pre-Chorus 
G 
And the tease cries 
Bm                         D 
Weeping listless laughter 
D 
Always thirsty like an attractive flower 
 
   G       C    Am   C        G 
Oh-ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh 
    C          Am       C    G 
You sleep like breathing 
    C          Am       C   N.C. 
You sleep like breath - gently 
 
Break 
G C Am C G 
 
    C          Am       C    G 
You sleep like breathing 
    C          Am       C  G 
You sleep like breath 
    C          Am       C    G 
You sleep like breathing 
    C          Am       C  G 
You sleep like breath
