Moira Dela Torre - Before It Sinks In

Capo: 6th fret

[Verse 1]
Cadd9
Suspended in the air
G
I hear myself breathing
Cadd9
Hanging by a thread
G
My heart is barely beating

Cadd9
I haven’t fallen yet
G
But I feel it comin’
Cadd9
Tell me would it be too much to ask
G
If you break it to me gently

Cadd9
That I’m waking the next day
G
Without you beside me
Cadd9
And who I hold onto today
G
Tomorrow will just be a memory

Cadd9 G
That I will look back at all of this
Cadd9
And wonder why I stayed in here
G
Just to watch you disappear

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am G/B Cadd9
So I breathe and let you go
Am G/B Cadd9
How do I breathe and let you go?

[Chorus 1]
Cadd9
Before it’s too late
G
I’ll take a step away
Am
I know one word would make me go
G/B
Rushing back to you
Cadd9
So I’ll just shut my eyes
G
Forget that you were mine
Am
How do you go from making one your home
G/B
And then just letting it all go
D
Let me take it in
Cadd9 G/B Am
Before it sinks in

[Verse 2]
Cadd9
Far beyond my reach
G
Is the future you promised
Cadd9
Now what I never even had
G
I have every reason to miss

Cadd9
And I don’t know
G
Where I could find the strength to let you go
Cadd9
When the only life I’ve come to know

G Am G/B Cadd9
Packed his bags and left me alone
Am G/B Cadd9
He found another home

[Chorus 2]
Cadd9
So before it’s too late
G
I’ll take a step away
Am
I know one word would make me go
G/B
Rushing back to you
Cadd9
And I’ll just shut my eyes
G
Forget that you were mine
Am
How do you go from making one your home
G/B
And then just letting it all go
D
Let me take it in
Cadd9 G/B Am
Before it sinks in

Cadd9 G
Ohhhhh…
Cadd9 G
Go…
Cadd9 G
Ohhhhh…
Cadd9
Go…

[Chorus 3]
Cadd9
Before it’s too late
G
I’ll take a step away
Am
I know one word would make me go
G/B
Rushing back to you
Cadd9
I’ll just shut my eyes
G
Forget that you were mine
Am
How do you go from making one your home
G/B
And then just letting it all go
D
Let me take it in
Cadd9 G/B Am
Before it sinks in
