Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Hope life's been good to you since you've been gone

I'm doin' fine now I've finally moved on

 It's not so bad, I'm not that sad

I'm not surprised just how well I survived

 I'm over the worst, and I feel so alive

 I can't complain, I'm free again

Chorus 1

 And it only hurts when I'm breathing

 My heart only breaks when it's beating

 My dreams only die when I'm dreaming

So I hold my breath, to forget

Don't think I'm lyin' round cryin at night

 There's no need to worry, I'm really alright

 I've never looked back, as a matter of fact

Chorus 2

 And it only hurts when I'm breathing

 My heart only breaks when it's beating

 My dreams only die when I'm dreaming

So I hold my breath, to forget

Mmm, no I've never looked back, as a matter fact

Chorus 3

 And it only hurts when I'm breathing

 My heart only breaks when it's beating

 My dreams only die when I'm dreaming

So I hold my breath, to forget

Hurts when I'm breathing

Breaks when it's beating

Die when I'm dreaming

It only hurts when I breathe
