I Pay With Every Breath 
Written and recorded by Marty Robbins

C       G7            C
Here am I  so sad and lonely
        G7            C
Who was I  to seal my fate
    C7               F
She trusted me and I deceived her
      C        G7             C
Now I pay with every breath I take

C7       F                 G7      C
I played around with fate  and I'm sorry
    G7                          C
I'm sorry but what good does it do
C7          F             G7          C
I broke her heart into  I brought her sorrow
      D7                                G7
But I never thought she'd find somebody new

C         G7               C
But now I know  how much I miss her
      G7                 C
Now I care  but it's too late
      C7                      F
She's gone and now that tears are falling
      C        G7             C
And I pay with every breath I take
