Lyrics and Music by Samuel Smith and James Napier
From the motion picture "Spectre" (James Bond series)

Intro: Bm | D | Bm | D

Bm               D
I’ve been here before,
Bm                  D
But always hit the floor.
     G
I’ve spent a lifetime running
      F#
And I always get away,
         G
But with you I’m feeling something
     F#
That makes me want to stay.

Bm               D
I’m prepared for this,
Bm               D
I never shoot to miss.
      G
But I feel like a storm is coming
       F#
If I’m gonna make it through the day.
            G
And there’s no more use in running,
        F#
This is something I gotta face.

 Bm   A    D    G
   If I risk it all,
 Bm      A    D       F#7
   Could you break my fall?

Chorus:
     F#7      Bm             A
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     G                A
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    Bm                   A
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 G                        F#m7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         Em7                   F#m7 F#7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                 Bm
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.

Instrumental: Bm | D

Bm                   D
A million shards of glass
Bm                    D
That haunt me from my past.
       G
As the stars begin to gather,
        F#              F#7
And the light begins to fade,
         G
When all hope begins to shatter,
          F#
Know that I won’t be afraid.

 Bm   A    D    G
   If I risk it all,
 Bm      A    D       F#7
   Could you break my fall?

Chorus:
     F#7      Bm             A
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     G                A
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    Bm                   A
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 G                        F#m7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         Em7                   F#m7 F#7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                 Bm     D
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.
                     Bm         D
     The writing’s on the wall.

Instrumental: G | F# F#7 | G | F# F#7

              Bm             A
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     G                A
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    Bm                   A
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 G                        A
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?

              Bm             A
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     G                A
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    Bm                   A
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 G                        F#m7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         Em7                   F#m7 F#7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                  Bm
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.
