Fast (Bm)forward fifteen years and a (G)thousand miles away

Just like it took my (Bm)breath when she was born
Just like it (Em)took my breath away when Dad (A)took his last that morn
Life's not the breath(D) you take, the breath-(Em)in' in and out
That gets you (Bm) through the day, ain't what its (A)all about
