From the motion picture "Spectre" (James Bond series)

Intro: F#madd9 | Amaj | F#madd9 | Amaj

F#madd9          Amaj
I’ve been here before,
F#madd9             Amaj
But always hit the floor.
     Dmaj
I’ve spent a lifetime running
      C#sus4
And I always get away,
         Dmaj
But with you I’m feeling something
     C#sus4           C#
That makes me want to stay.

F#madd9          Amaj
I’m prepared for this,
F#madd9          Amaj
I never shoot to miss.
      Dmaj
But I feel like a storm is coming
       C#sus4
If I’m gonna make it through the day.
            Dmaj
And there’s no more use in running,
        C#sus4            C#
This is something I gotta face.

 F#m  E/G# A    Dmaj
   If I risk it all,
 F#m     E/G# A       C#7   C#9-
   Could you break my fall?

Chorus:
     C#7      F#m            E6add9
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     Dmaj             E6add9
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    F#m                  E6add9
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 Dmaj                     C#m7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         Bm7                   C#m7 C#7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                 F#madd9
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.

Instrumental: F#madd9 | Amaj

F#madd9              Amaj
A million shards of glass
F#madd9               Amaj
That haunt me from my past.
       Dmaj
As the stars begin to gather,
        C#sus4          C#9-sus4 C#7sus4
And the light begins to fade,
         Dmaj
When all hope begins to shatter,
          C#sus4       C#
Know that I won’t be afraid.

 F#m  E/G# A    Dmaj
   If I risk it all,
 F#m     E/G# A       C#7   C#9-
   Could you break my fall?

Chorus:
     C#7      F#m            E6add9
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     Dmaj             E6add9
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    F#m                  E6add9
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 Dmaj                     C#m7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         Bm7                   C#m7 C#7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                 F#madd9 Amaj
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.
                     F#madd9    Amaj
     The writing’s on the wall.

Instrumental: D | C#sus4 C#7 | D | C#sus4 C#7

              F#m            E6add9
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     Dmaj             E6add9
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    F#m                  E6add9
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 Dmaj                     E6add9
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?

              F#m            E6add9
     How do I live? How do I breathe?
                     Dmaj             E6add9
     When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.
                    F#m                  E6add9
     I want to feel love, run through my blood.
                 Dmaj                     C#m7
     Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
         Bm7                   C#m7 C#7
     For you I have to risk it all
                                  F#m
     ’Cause the writing’s on the wall.
