Who gave me such a lucky break

Only with every breath I take

And every time we have to be apart
I hardly ever find you in my heart
And when it comes to thinking of
The thought of losing all your love
I never worry how my heart would ache

C C C# D [N.C.]
Oh, no, darling
G

Only with every little beat of my heart
D
And every single minute I’m awake
[string break over verse chords]

Every little step I make
