[Verse 1]
Cadd9
Suspended in the air
              G
I hear myself breathing
Cadd9
Hanging by a thread
            G
My heart is barely beating
 
Cadd9
I haven't fallen yet
              G
But I feel it comin'
        Cadd9
Tell me would it be too much to ask
       G
If you break it to me gently
 
         Cadd9
That I'm waking the next day
              G
Without you beside me
          Cadd9
And who I hold onto today
              G
Tomorrow will just be a memory
 
     Cadd9                  G
That I will look back at all of this
    Cadd9
And wonder why I stayed in here
G
Just to watch you disappear
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
     Am          G/B     Cadd9
So I breathe and let you go
         Am          G/B     Cadd9
How do I breathe and let you go?
 
 
[Chorus 1]
                Cadd9
Before it's too late
                 G
I'll take a step away
                      Am
I know one word would make me go
                G/B
Rushing back to you
                     Cadd9
So I'll just shut my eyes
                     G
Forget that you were mine
                   Am
How do you go from making one your home
              G/B
And then just letting it all go
       D
Let me take it in
  Cadd9 G/B Am
Before  it  sinks in
 
 
[Verse 2]
Cadd9
Far beyond my reach
                  G
Is the future you promised
           Cadd9
Now what I never even had
             G
I have every reason to miss
 
      Cadd9
And I don't know
                       G
Where I could find the strength to let you go
         Cadd9
When the only life I've come to know
 
G                           Am G/B Cadd9
Packed his bags and left me alone
                 Am G/B Cadd9
He found another home
 
[Chorus 2]
                   Cadd9
So before it's too late
                 G
I'll take a step away
                      Am
I know one word would make me go
                G/B
Rushing back to you
                      Cadd9
And I'll just shut my eyes
                     G
Forget that you were mine
                   Am
How do you go from making one your home
              G/B
And then just letting it all go
       D
Let me take it in
  Cadd9 G/B Am
Before  it  sinks in
 
Cadd9   G
Ohhhhh...
Cadd9 G
Go...
Cadd9   G
Ohhhhh...
Cadd9
Go...
 
[Chorus 3]
                Cadd9
Before it's too late
                 G
I'll take a step away
                      Am
I know one word would make me go
                G/B
Rushing back to you
                  Cadd9
I'll just shut my eyes
                     G
Forget that you were mine
                   Am
How do you go from making one your home
              G/B
And then just letting it all go
       D
Let me take it in
  Cadd9 G/B Am
Before  it  sinks in

I'm just a beginner, so I don't know much, but in my opinion, F sounds better than C9 for the parts with C9. Other than that, good chords :)

Oh my bad this is the one with a capo, sorry for the mix up

I think it should be Cadd9, not C9. Seems to be an issue of notation, not correctness! :)
