Lyrics

If I (C)nev er feel you in my arms a gain,

if I (Dm)nev er feel your ten der kiss a gain,

if I (Em)nev er hear “I love you” now and then,

will I (F)nev er make love to you once a gain?

Please un der (Em7)stand,

if love (Am)ends,

then I (Dm)prom ise you, I prom ise you that, that I shall nev er breathe a gain, (F)breathe a gain, breath a gain, that I shall nev er breathe a gain, (C)breathe a gain.

And I (F)can’t stop think ing a (Dm7)bout, a bout the (Em7)way things used to (Am7)be, and I (F)can’t stop think ing a (Dm7)bout, a bout the (Em7)love that you made to (Am7)me.

And I (F)can’t get you out of my (Dm7)head; how in the (Em7)world will I be (Am7)gin to (Gm)let you walk right (C7)out my life and (Fmaj7)throw my heart a way?

And I (F)can’t stop car ing a (Dm7)bout, a bout the (Em7)ap ple of my (Am7)eye, and I (F)can’t stop do ing with (Dm7)out, with out the (Em7)cen ter of my (Am7)life.

And I (Fmaj7)can’t get you out of my (Dm7)head, and I (Em7)know I can’t pre (Am7)tend that (Bbmaj7)I won’t die if you de cide you (F)won’t see me a gain.

If I (C)nev er feel you in my arms a gain,

if I (Dm)nev er feel your ten der kiss a gain,

if I (Em)nev er hear “I love you” now and then,

will I (F)nev er make love to you once a gain?

Please un der (Em7)stand,

if love (Am)ends,

then I (Dm)prom ise you, I prom ise you that, that I shall nev er breathe a gain, (F)breathe a gain, breath a gain, that I shall nev er breathe a gain, (C)breathe a gain.

And I (F)can’t stop think ing a (Dm7)bout, a bout the (Em7)way my life would (Am7)be.

No, I (F)can’t stop think ing a (Dm7)bout, how could you (Em7)love that me then to (Am7)leave?

And I (F)can’t get you out of my (Dm7)mind; how in God (Em7)knows how hard I’ve (Am7)tried, and (Gm)if you walk right (C7)out my life, God (Fmaj7)knows I’m sure to die.

And I (F)can’t stop do ing with (Dm7)out, with out the (Em7)rhy thm of my (Am7)heart.

No, I (F)can’t stop do ing with (Dm7)out, for I will (Em7)sure ly fall a (Am7)part.

And I (Fmaj7)can’t get you out of my (Dm7)mind, and I (Em7)know I can’t de (Am7)ny, and (Bbmaj7)I would die if you de cide you (F)won’t see me a gain.

If I (F)won’t see me a gain.

If I (C)breathe a gain.

About “Breathe Again

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Breathe Again"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature C. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Breathe Again" by Toni Braxton played in?
Breathe Again is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Breathe Again"?
The arrangement plays at 80 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Breathe Again" easy to play on piano?
Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
Can I download sheet music for "Breathe Again"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Breathe Again"?
"Breathe Again" was originally performed by Toni Braxton. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
What other songs by Toni Braxton can I play here?
Try "UNBREAK MY HEART", "BREATHE AGAIN", "Un-Break My Heart". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Breathe Again" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 80 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
