You took my breath away
G              C    (riff)
I want it back again
G                 C  (riff)
Look at the mess I'm in
G              C      
I don't know what to say
A7             Dm
I don't know how to feel
G               C
You don't care anyway
A7            Dm
All I can do is wait
G                  C       Riff
You took my breath away

You took this song of mine
And changed the middle bit
It used to sound alright
But now the words don't fit

It's getting hard to rhyme
Impossible to play
I've tried it many times
G               C       E
You took my breath away

E        E7              Am
One day when the sun is shining
D           D7            Fm   G  C riff
There will be that silver lining

You knocked my headlights out
So turn them on again
I can't see where I'm going
I can't tell where I've been

I don't know how to feel
This hasn't been my day
Seems like I've lost a wheel
You took my breath away

A7 Dm G C A7 Dm
G                   C
You took my breath away
G                   C

You took my breath away
