Bm G
He looks up from second base, Dad's up in the stands

He saw the hit, the run, the slide, there ain't no bigger fan

In the parkin' lot after the game
F#m G
He said "Dad I thought you had a plane to catch?"
A
He smiled and said "Yeah son, I did
Chorus
D Em
But life's not the breath you take, the breathin� in and out
Bm A
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
G Bm
You just might miss the point tryin' to win the race
Em
Life's not the breaths you take
A D Em A
But the moments that take your breath away

Fast forward fifteen years and a thousand miles away

Boy's built a life, he's got a wife and a baby due today

Just like it took my breath when she was born
Em A
Just like it took my breath away when Dad took his last that morn
Chorus
D Em
But life's not the breath you take, the breathin� in and out

That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about

Life's not the breaths you take
A
But the moments that take your breath away
