Catch ing my (C)breath, let ting it (D)go, turn ing my (Em)cheek for the sake of the (D)show.

Now that you (C)know, this is my (D)life, I won’t be (Em)told what’s sup posed to be (D)right.

(C)Catch my breath, no one can hold me back.

I ain’t got time for that.

(C)Catch my breath, won’t let ’em get me down.

It’s all so sim ple now.

Ad dict ed to the love I found,

heav (Em)y heart, now a weight less cloud.

Mak (D)ing time for the ones that count,

(Em)I’ll spend the (Dsus)rest of my (D)time laugh ing hard with the win dows down,

leav (Em)ing foot prints all o ver town.

Keep (D)ing faith, kar ma comes a round.
