Counting My Breaths - Mal Blum
Tuning: G C E A, G C E A
[Intro]
x2
[Verse 1]
Winter is over
I think I got
closure
I mean, I got
closer
Than I was bef
ore
All of my less
ons
So painfully s
ober
You prefer
Learning them
The night befo
re
N.C.
Yes, you do
x2
[Verse 2]
Everything I k
now
I owe to persp
ective
It's not as if
you
Weren't dancin
g all night
Everything you
know
You owe to for
giveness
Like, if you d
on't call me
I'm not gonna
die
Alright? If yo
u don't call m
e
I’m not gonna
cry
N.C.
No, I ain't
x2
[Chorus]
But one two th
ree, one two t
hree
I don't mean a
word of it
Counting my br
eaths
And the steps
to your house
But one two th
ree, one two t
hree
I don't mean a
word of it
Wonder how lon
g until
You figure me
out
Or not
x2
[Verse 3]
Winter is over
I wish you wer
e sober
Or happy or di
fferent
At all since I
've left
But every less
on I had to le
arn over
I learned in t
he end
When I learned
for myself
N.C.
No one else
x2
[Chorus]
One two three,
one two three
I don't mean a
word of it
Counting my br
eaths
And the steps
to your house
One two three,
one two three
I don't mean a
word of it
Wonder how lon
g until
You figure me
out
Or not
Or not
[Verse 4]
Winter is cold
now
And all that I
know
Is how
Love disappoin
ts
If you dare li
ve it out
Good then, I k
now
What it takes
to grow old
So I'm going b
ack home
I'm not leavin
g the house
Or: winter was
hard
We drove fast,
we went far
Stayed as long
as we had to
Didn't come ba
ck for weeks
When we return
ed
We went straig
ht to the bar
To an unfamili
ar bed
And uncomforta
ble sheets
And dear
Since I'm not
home
I won't mind i
f you leave
[Outro Chorus]
One two three
- I didn't mea
n..
Who said you c
ould
Count on me
Counting my br
eaths
Counting my br
eaths
One two three
I didn't mean
Who said you c
ould
Count on me
Counting my br
eaths
Counting my br
eaths
