Verse 1

 You fought a long

 long losing war

You've seen a

time of better days

 Yeah but through it

all you stood up tall

 You never cowered in fear

 You'd always ante up

when times were tough

 You never gave up on me

Refrain 1

 In this wicked game

of life and death

 I would play my

hand if I could

Chorus 1

 I'd breathe for you

 I'd breathe for you

 I'd breathe for you

 I'd breathe for you

----

I'd breathe for you

Verse 2

 You've seen it all

 it's all come and gone

 Through the smiles

 and bitter tears

 Through all the endless

nights you'd stay

up fighting

 Just to make it

until dawn

 Another round of

shots a bigger pot

 Lies on the table waiting

Refrain 2

 In this wicked game

of life and death

Let's throw down

 our hands in glory

Chorus 2

 I'd breathe for you

 I'd breathe for you

 I'd breathe for you

 I'd breathe for you

Bridge

 Ain't it funny

how life passes

in the blink of

innocent young eyes

 So many names

and faces change

while others just

lay back in disguise

Yeah I hope you

never thought that

 I was just another rotten

fair-weather friend

 Let's try to make

up for lost time

 let's make this last

until the end

 Until the end

 Until the end

Chorus 3

 I'd breathe for you

 I'd breathe for you

 I'd breathe for you

 I'd breathe for you

  ------(hold)

I'd breathe for you
