Still Breathing by Duran Duran






                            Still Breathing







Tuning: Standard


Main Riff:
This is played during the verses and the chorus.

G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Below is practically the same riff, except for the last few notes. This is only played just
before the two verses once, then the guitar part goes back to the riff above.

G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Chorus:
The main riff repeats during the chorus. But I can also make out an acoustic guitar playing
a Dm-C chord arrangement throughout.

Dm:   x57765
C:    x35553

Bridge Riff:
This is played after the second and third choruses in the song.

You can hear traces of the main riff on and off during the last minute and a half the song
also. Much of the ending is filled with synths all over, but the guitar coming in and out is
a nice effect to go along with that.


*Main riff*
Home, it's not brick or stone
Or comfort in the firelight
Not in that sense anyway

*Main riff*
Dreams, if only I had known
But these things always seem
So much clearer at a distance

Dm                      C
I'm walking out of this town
Dm                      C
I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there
Dm                      C
I'd burn the place to the ground
Dm                      C
I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there again

*Main riff*
Words only could break that ring
You know the words still sting
So much ahrder than the blows ever did

*Main riff*
Heart, though it's hot and violent
My head is cool and quiet
As the ashes that fall from the sky

Dm                      C
I'm walking out of this town
Dm                      C
I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there
Dm                      C
I'd burn the place to the ground
Dm                      C
I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there again

*Bridge Riff*
(The Dm - C arrangement repeats 4 times here also)

*Main riff*
Now, I know this shattered feeling
Trampled but still breathing
I'm just waiting for a good day

Dm                      C
I'm walking out of this town
Dm                      C
I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there
Dm                      C
I'd burn the place to the ground
Dm                      C
I'm never going back there, I'm never going back there again
Dm                      C
Never going back there, I'm never going back there again

*Main riff*
