E G A Bm A G

Chorus:
Baby, why’d you take my breath away?
Baby, what you gotta say for taking my breath away?

You might think you can take whatever you want
‘cause, baby, you know I’ll give you whatever I got.
But there’s one thing I need in order to live.
I gotta be able to breath if you want me to give.
I gotta be able to breath in order to live.

{chorus}

Some things are better kept to yourself.
Why’d you want to lead me to your hell?
Like a devil in heat you burned me to my soul
while watching me dig myself into your hole
as the smoke grew thcker you let it take its toll.

{chorus}

From this view the world looks pretty grim.
All I hear is the choir’s funeral hymn.
I hope my friends will all gather round
to watch you bury my body beneath the ground.
Before you leave I plead, hear my sound:

{chorus}

Who really needs to Love, anyway
when it always ends up causing too much pain?
So the next time you feel the passion pull
I hope you remember to live the Golden Rule.
No one should be treated like a fool.

{chorus}

Baby                                               repeat

Why’d you take my breath away?   repeat
