Intro: C,G,Am,F X2

Verse 1

C                   G
Here you are now, Fresh from your wars
Am                    F
Back from the edge of time
    C                    G
And all that you were, Stripped to the bone
Am                      F
I thought you'd want to know

Chorus
C        G                    Am       F
when you, feel the world is crashing
                 C
All around your feet
    G                   Am     F
Come running headlong into my arms
      C     G
Breathless I'll never judge you
Am   F
I can only love you
C       G
Come now running headlong
Am       F           C
Into my arms Breathless

Verse 2
                     G
Lay down your guns, Too weak to run
Am                    F     C
Nothing can harm you here, Your precious heart
G                    Am                   F
Broken and scarred, Somehow you made it through
   G            F         G
I only ask that you won't go again

Chorus
C        G                    Am       F
when you, feel the world is crashing
                 C
All around your feet
    G                   Am     F
Come running headlong into my arms
      C     G
Breathless I'll never judge you
Am   F
I can only love you
C       G
Come now running headlong
Am       F          Dm7 F        C G
Into my arms Breathless Breathless

Bridge
Dm7
So glad to see you smiling
F
It's So good to hear your laugh
    C                          G
I think that you've found you even missed yourself
Dm7                          F
I'm only asking this cause I think that
          G  F                 G    F     G
Truth be told Oh, you'll never go again again

Chorus
C        G                    Am       F
when you, feel the world is crashing
                 C
All around your feet
    G                   Am     F
Come running headlong into my arms
      C     G
Breathless I'll never judge you
Am   F
I can only love you
C       G
Come now running headlong
Am       F           C  G Am F        C  G Am F 
Into my arms Breathless       Breathless
                       C        G       Am   F
So when you feel the world is crashing down
                    C     G    Am F
would you come and run into my arms




How to play "Breathless" by Taylor Swift on Ukulele

Tuning and Setup:
- Place a capo on the 2nd fret if available; this matches
  the original key of the song which is D major. If you
  don't have a capo, you can play in C major with the
  chords provided without transposing.

Chords Used (relative to capo on 2nd fret):
   C:    x32010
   F:    xx3211
   Am:   x02210
   G:    320003
   Dm7:  xx0211

Intro and Verse Strumming:
- The strumming pattern for the intro and verses can be a
  simple down-up-down-up (DUDU) pattern, focusing on a
  soft touch to match the acoustic, introspective nature
  of the song.

Chorus Strumming:
- Emphasize the downstroke on each beat, but mix in some
  lighter upstrokes to keep the rhythm flowing and dynamic.
- Pattern: Down-Down-Up, Up-Down-Up (DDU, UDU)

Song Structure:
- Intro: C G Am F (repeat twice)
- Verse 1: Follow the progression C G Am F twice, then
  repeat with new lyrics.
- Chorus: Follow the progression C G Am F and repeat as
  lyrics dictate.
- Verse 2: Same as the first verse.
- Bridge: Use Dm7 and F to lead, then C G, and repeat
  Dm7 F G F G as lyrics require.
- Outro: Repeat the chorus progression with final lyrics.

Common Mistakes:
- Not maintaining consistent strumming intensity, which
  can make the song feel disjointed.
- Rushing the tempo during the chorus; keep it steady.
- Missing the transitions between chord changes, especially
  from Am to F, which can be quick. Practice switching
  between these chords smoothly.

Lyrics Theme Summary:
"Breathless" is a heartfelt song where the singer reassures
a loved one coming back from hardships. The lyrics convey
support and unconditional acceptance, urging the loved one
to find solace and safety in the singer's presence. The
repetitive use of "Breathless" in the chorus highlights the
intense emotion and relief of being together again.
