Intro:

	 G
	(Dit-dit  do-do-bop-bop)
	(Dit-dit  do-do-bop-bop)

Verse 1:

	   G                            Em
	I hardly ever thank the stars above
	     C                             D
	For sending me your very precious love
	        G
	You'll never hear me say a prayer
	     Em
	Of thanks to someone way up there
	     C                     D
	Who gave me such a lucky break

Chorus 1:

	         C        C C# D [N.C.]
	Oh, no, darling
	                          G
	Only with every breath I take

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

	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

Chorus 2:

	         C        C C# D [N.C.]
	Oh, no, darling
	                                 G
	Only with every little breath I take
	                               Em
	Only with every little step I make
	                                    C
	Only with every little beat of my heart
	                              D
	And every single minute I'm awake

[string break over verse chords]

[repeat chorus 2]

Coda (falsetto):

	                       G
	Every little breath I take
	                     Em
	Every little step I make
	            C
	Ah-ah-ah ah-ah
	                                D
	Ah-ah-ah every little breath I take

	[repeat w/backing vocals only; fade]
