[Intro]
C/G (hammer-on on D-String)
 
[Verse 1]
C/G
I was walking through icy streams
 
That took my breath away
 Am
Moving slowly through westward water
 
Over glacial plains
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                 C/G
And I walked off you
                     Am
And I walked off an old me
    F                             Am
Oh me, oh my, I thought it was a dream
         G
So it seemed
 
[Chorus]
F                  Am
  And now, breathe deep
        G
I'm inhaling
You and I, there's air in between
F             Am
  Leave me be
           G
I'm exhaling
You and I, there's air in between
F          Am      G
  Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
 
[Verse 2]
C/G                               Am
Cut my hair so I could rock back and forth
Without thinking of you
 C/G
Learned to talk and say
 
Whatever, ever, whatever, whatever, ever
    Am
I wanted to
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                   F
And I walked off you
                      G
And I walked off an old me,
 F                                      Am
Oh, oh me, oh my, I thought it was a dream
       G
So it seemed
 
[Chorus]
F                  Am
  And now, breathe deep
        G
I'm inhaling
You and I, there's air in between
F             Am
  Leave me be
           G
I'm exhaling
You and I, there's air in between
F          Am      G
  Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
 
[Outro]
G
Ooh, ooh
You and I, there's air in between
F            Am       G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
                        C/G
You and I, there's air in between

LOVE it! In a live video I noticed she does a bar chord for the G - like an F on the 3rd fret? I'm obviously a beginner and I have no idea what I'm really talking about, but I love the sound the strings make switching from that to the F.

If you're a tenor, same chords at capo 4 sits quite nicely on the falsetto.
