A
 I been known to say the wrong things in my time,
F#m           Bm
 Stumble when I was in my prime
A
 We cannot have it our way all the time,
F#m                     Bm
 And you cannot have it your way all the time

[Chorus]
Em              D           A
Does it have to happen like this?
Em               D      A
Does it have to be this way?

[Verse 2]
A
Open your mouth and breathe on me
F#m             Bm
 I need your sensitivity
A
Through the desert and ravine
F#m           Bm
 I see you in places you ain’t been
A
 Pass me up and stall me one more time
F#m        Bm
 Distant arrangements in your mind

[Chorus]
Em            D          A
Still another reason to live
Em            D         A
Still another reason to die

[Verse 3]
A
Open your mouth and breathe on me
F#m          Bm
 I need your sensitivity
A
Open your mouth and breathe on me
F#m        Bm
 Sting the very core of me. . .sting it now

[Verse 4]
A
Won’t you come and see me some time?
F#m             Bm
 Now that we’ve laid it on the line
A
 Linger a while and the truth
F#m       Bm
 Linger a while on the lies

[Outro]
Em                 D            A
Won’t you come and see me in my dreams?
    Em          D       A
The only way we meet it seems
Em     D       A
Oh why lead me on?
Em     D       A
Oh why lead me on?
Em           D         A
Open up your mouth and breathe on me
Em           D         A
Open up your mouth and breath on me
