      Bm
If I had a world to give and
If I have a life to live
                   A
Would you come to me
                   E
Would you come to me?

And if I have a time in her
Spilled up in grains of sand
Would you be with me
Would you be with me?

             Bm
You see that everything I do
                 E
Still leaves me lost an long for you...

Chorus:
          Bm
If I can find some time
And a place to hide
I can sit right down and free my mind
      A
One breath away
      E
One breath away
       Bm
And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted in motions carried on
      A
One breath away
      E
One breath away
  B

When you took me by the hand
You touched a child inside the man
And I was free
Yes, I was me

But then I took a different turn
And now a child begins to burn
'cause I'm angry
'cause I can feel

You see that everything I do
Still leaves me lost and long for you...

Chorus:
If I can find some time
And a place to hide
I can sit right down
And free my mind
One breath away
One breath away
And I know the past is dead and gone
Wasted in motions carried on
One breath away
One breath away

Bm                     D
Here comes the pressure
Bm                       D E
And it's coming down hard
My spirit's fading
But I'm still gonna fight - x2

Chorus:
If I can find some time
And a place to hide
I can sit right down
And free my mind
One breath away
One breath away
And I know the past id dead and gone
Wasted in motions carried on
One breath away
One breath away
Ideal

Oh Yeah
One breath away
And it's hardest breath to take
