verse 1 
 
    C 
And I was walking through icy streams 
That took my breath away 
Am 
Moving slowly through westward water 
Over glacial plains 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 
         F            C 
And I've walked off you 
        Am 
And I've walked off an old me 
     C   F       C                     Am 
Oh me, oh my, I thought it was a dream 
        Em 
So it seemed 
 
 
F                 Am 
And now, breathe deep 
       Em 
I'm inhaling 
                      G            F 
You and I, there's air in between 
Am 
Leave me be 
C 
I'm exhaling 
Em                  G        F      G 
You and I, there's air in between 
Em                         F 
You and I, there's air in between 
 
verse 2 
     C 
And cut my hair so I could rock back and forth 
Without thinking of you 
Am 
Learned to talk and say 
Whatever I wanted to 
 
Pre-Chorus 
         F            C 
And I've walked off you 
        Am 
And I've walked off an old me 
     C   F       C                     Am 
Oh me, oh my, I thought it was a dream 
        Em 
So it seemed 
 
 
F                 Am 
And now, breathe deep 
       Em 
I'm inhaling 
                      G            F 
You and I, there's air in between 
Am 
Leave me be 
C 
I'm exhaling 
Em                  G        F      G 
You and I, there's air in between 
Em                         F 
You and I, there's air in between
