Depeche Mode
"Breathe" from Exciter (2001)
The first part of theverse has two riffs that are repeated, an Am and a Gm riff:
[Am] [Gm]
The second part of the verse uses a Fm riff and a different Am riff:
[Am] [Fm]
Strum Am and Fm chords on the bridge:
[Am] [Fm]
(note: try vibratin' the whole Fm chord to get the cool little effect in some places on CD)
The outro is like this x2
and then this once
and then repeat the whole outro thing again and again to fade. So some idea of timings:
Intro: Am
Verse 1:
I heard a rumour
They travel far[Am]
You know what it's like
The way people ar[Gm]e
They talk and they talk
Though they don't understa[Am]nd
They'll whisper and whisper
And lie on demand[Gm]
Verse 1.5
Please tell me now
I want to know
I have to hear it from your lips
Say it's not s[Am]o[Fm]
Verse 2
(same as last verse)
I heard it on Monday
And I laughed a while
I heard it on Tuesday
I managed to smile
I heard it on Wednesday
My patience was tried
I heard it on Thursday
And I hurt inside
I want to know
The depths of your mind
Tell me this whole thing is madness
And we're doing fine
(Bridge - strum here)
[Fm]Put your little hand in [Am]mine
And believe in love
[Fm]Put your head on my [Am]chest
And [Am]breathe love
[Fm]Breathe love
[Fm]Breathe love
[Fm]Breathe love
[Am] [Fm] [Am]
Verse 3 (a lil different):
I heard it from Pet[Am]er
Who heard it from Pa[Am]ul
Who heard it from someo[Gm]ne
I don't know at al[Gm]l
I heard it from Ma[Am]ry
Who heard it from Ru[Am]th
Who swore on the bib[Gm]le
She's telling the tru[Gm]th
I heard it from Sim[Am]on
Who heard it from Jam[Am]es
Confirming with Sar[Gm]ah
That I was to bla[Gm]me
I heard it from Jose[Am]ph
Who heard it from Jo[Am]hn
Who said with convicti[Gm]on
That all hope was go[Gm]ne
Verse 3.5:
So I need to know
Your alibis
I need to hear that you love me
Before you say goodb[Am]ye[Fm]
Before you say goodb[Am]ye[Fm]
Before you say goodb[Am]ye[Fm]
Outro
Before you say goodbye
