Artist: Lifehouse 
Song: Breathing
Album: No Face Name
Tabbed By: Aaron AKA Teto Levesque

This is my favorite song by Lifehouse so I decided to tab it out with
the help of my teacher, Marc. For some reason, the first time I tried to
submitt this, it didn't get on the website, so I'm trying again
soeveryone who likes the song can play it. Also because too many people
keep submitting the easy tab for "Hanging By A Moment," and I personally
don't think we need more than ten on the site. There is a guest
guitarist
on this track, but if you're fast enough, you can play it with one
guitar.
This is 100% accurate, so good luck.

Intro:
e|----------------------------------------|
b|-6----5-6-8---5-----6-5-3---3-----3--5--|
g|-7------------5-------------3-----3--5--|
d|-7------------5-------------3-----3--5--|
a|-5------------3-------------1-----1--3--|
E|----------------------------------------|
^These three ^ chords ring ^ out while the
second guitarist fingers the other notes.

Now play it over again.

Verse (strum slowly and lightly):
e|------------------------|
b|-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3|
g|-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3|
d|-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3|
a|-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1|
E|------------------------|

Small Pre-Chorus Music:
Guitar 1
e|-1--0---------|
b|-------3--0--1|
g|--------------|
d|--------------|
a|--------------|
E|--------------|
Guitar 2
e|--------------|
b|--------------|
g|--------------|
d|--------------|
a|-1--0---------|
E|-------3--0--1|

Chorus:
(the chords are right, but the rhythm's off)
e|-1--1--------------------------------|
b|-1--1--1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3--3-0--6-6-6-6|
d|-2--2--x-x-x-x--3-3-3-3--3-0--7-7-7-7|
g|-3--3--2-2-2-2--3-3-3-3--3-0--7-7-7-7|
a|-3--3--3-3-3-3--1-1-1-1--0-0--5-5-5-5|
E|-1--1--0-0-0-0-----------------------|
^release from the chord
completely here to give you time to move to the next chord

Chorus Continued:
e|-----------------|
b|-5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3|
g|-5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3|
d|-5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3|
a|-3-3-3-3--1-1-1-1|
E|-----------------|
Now go back and play the first part of the chorus again.
The next time you get to the last chord (-1333-), play
the intro again.

---------------------------------------------------------
To help you get the rhythm better, I relisted the chorus
chords under th lyrics said while that chord is strumed:

(133211)
"cuz I am hanging on-"

(032x1-)
"every word yuo say and-"

(-1333-) (-0333-) (-0000--)
even if you don't want to-"

(-5776-)
"speak tonight, that's"

(-3555-)
"alright...alright"
(-1333-) (-3555-)
"with me."

I hope I helped a few people out. E-mail me at
Zer0Toleranze@hotmail.com (that's a zero in the
Zer0, not an 'Oh'). Peace out

ok thats fine. maybe you should try church, or maybe everyone should keep their comments to themselves if they're gonna be mean towards people.

I think this song is a love song.. here the words from the lead singer "This is another love song that can be interpreted in a couple of different ways ( same like "Hanging By a moment" ). The verses say, "I'm finding my way back to sanity again." So it's like trying really hard and then getting back to the place you started from. Then the bridge says, "I don't want a thing from you/ Bet you're tired of me waiting for the scraps to fall off of your table to the ground." It's kind of like not wanting anything from anyone, not hanging on every word they say and just having faith you'll be able to "be here now," which is how the song ends."

i agree totally with Mabes, yeah its all about God. Jason just wants to hear GOd breathing, even if he doesnt hear his voice. he just wants to be closest to God as he can get. this is such a great song. i love jasons voice, it sounds so good in this song.

I'd say that this song is just speaking about how much this guy wants to be in the presence of the (hopefully) girl he loves. Everything she says or does is just magical to him, so doesn't even matter if she is speaking, as long as he can sit there listening.

God shmod... god doesnt exist hes a figment of your imagination...ive never heard the song but it sounds like it about some girl like all the other sad crappy soft rock songs. Who cares if its about god or if there a christian band, i dont care that you believe in God just dont go spreading it to the rest of us like we need it cause we dont

This song is amazing. When I listen to it, it screams, "You're going to listen to this song, and you're going to like it." It's VERY calming. It's one of two love songs on the CD ("Hanging By A Moment" being the other one). I also once interpreted it as a dedication to my (ex) boyfriend when I wanted so desperately to be back with him. "Even if you don't want to speak tonight / That's alright / Alright with me" told him that I just wanted to be in his presence, even if he didn't want to speak.

This song makes me think of my past relationships and how caught up in them I got. All I ever wanted was to be with them and I think that this is kinda what the song means.

I think this song demonstrates how much Jason longs for God. He depends on God's grace(falling back to the arms of grace), wants to be in God's presence(sit outside heaven's door) even if God doesn't have a word for him right now, he just wants to be as close to God's presence as he can be. He hinges on every word that God has for him.
