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 e|-------5--------------3--------------------------------------------------- B|-----5---8-7b-------3---6-5b---------------------------------------------- G|---5--------------3------------------------------------------------------- D|-7--------------5--------------------------------------------------------- A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- The second part of the verse uses a Fm riff and a different Am riff: Am Fm e|-------0-----------1------------------------------------------------------ B|-----1-----------1-------------------------------------------------------- G|---2-----------1---------------------------------------------------------- D|-2-----------3----------------------------------------------------------- A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strum Am and Fm chords on the bridge: Am Fm e|---0-----1---------------------------------------------------------------- B|---1-----1---------------------------------------------------------------- G|---2-----1---------------------------------------------------------------- D|---2-----3---------------------------------------------------------------- A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- (note: try vibratin' the whole Fm chord to get the cool little effect in some places on CD) The outro is like this x2 e|-------0-------0---------------1-------1---------------------------------- B|-----1---1---3---3-1---------1---1---3---3-1------------------------------ G|---2-------2---------2-----1-------1---------1---------------------------- D|-2---------------------2-3---------------------3-------------------------- A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- and then this once e|-------0-------0---------------1------------------------------------------ B|-----1---1---3---3-1---------1-------------------------------------------- G|---2-------1---------2-----1---------------------------------------------- D|-2---------------------2-3------------------------------------------------ A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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^Gme They talk and they talk Though they don't understa^Amnd 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^Amo ^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)

^FmPut your little hand in ^Ammine And believe in love ^FmPut your head on my ^Amchest And ^Ambreathe love ^FmBreathe love ^FmBreathe love ^FmBreathe love

Am Fm Am Verse 3 (a lil different):

I heard it from Pet^Amer Who heard it from Pa^Amul Who heard it from someo^Gmne I don't know at al^Gml I heard it from Ma^Amry Who heard it from Ru^Amth Who swore on the bib^Gmle She's telling the tru^Gmth I heard it from Sim^Amon Who heard it from Jam^Ames Confirming with Sar^Gmah That I was to bla^Gmme I heard it from Jose^Amph Who heard it from Jo^Amhn Who said with convicti^Gmon That all hope was go^Gmne

Verse 3.5: So I need to know Your alibis I need to hear that you love me

Before you say goodb^Amye ^Fm Before you say goodb^Amye ^Fm Before you say goodb^Amye ^Fm Outro Before you say goodbye
