• Bm

Intro: Bm  G  Bm  A 

Verse 1 
    Bm                         G 
He looks up from second base, Dad's up in the stands 
    Bm                                    G 
He saw the hit, the run, the slide, there ain't no bigger fan 
       Em 
In the parkin' lot after the game 
         F#m                                     G 
He said "Dad I thought you had a plane to catch?" 
                                   A 
He smiled and said "Yeah son, I did  
  
                            
                   D                             Em 
But life's not the breath you take, the breathin’ in and out 
              Bm                                A 
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about 
              G                        Bm 
You just might miss the point tryin' to win the race 
               Em 
Life's not the breaths you take  
        A                                 D    Em       A   
But the moments that take your breath away  


Verse 2 
       Bm                          G 
Fast forward fifteen years and a thousand miles away 
        Bm                                G 
Boy's built a life, he's got a wife and a baby due today 
  Em                      
He hears a voice sayin' "I made it, son" 
        F#m                               G 
Says "I told you, Dad, you didn't have to come" 
                                        A 
He smiles and says "Yeah, I know you did  


                    D                            Em 
But life's not the breath you take, the breathin’ in and out 
              Bm                                A 
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about 
               G                        Bm 
You just might miss the point tryin' to win the race                       
                Em 
Life's not the breaths you take 
        A                                 G 
But the moments that take your breath away  
 
 
Bridge 
                    Bm 
Just like it took my breath when she was born 
             Em                           A 
Just like it took my breath away when Dad took his last that morn 


                    D                            Em 
But life's not the breath you take, the breathin’ in and out 
             Bm                                 A 
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about 
              G                             Bm 
You just might miss the point if you don’t slow down the pace 
                Em 
Life's not the breaths you take 
       A                                                               
But the moments that take your breath away  


Outro:  G    Bm    A      D
