Verse 1
D* x57775
Intro
[Em] [A] [C] [Dsus2]
Verse
I know what you're [Em]doing,
I see it all too [A]clear
I only taste the [C]saline
when I kiss away your [Dsus2]tears
You really had me [Em]going,
wishing on a [A]star
But the black holes that [C]surround you
are heavier by [Dsus2]far
I believed in your [Em]confusion,
you were so completely [A]torn
Well it must have been that [C]yesterday
was the day that I was [Dsus2]born
There's not much to [Em]examine,
there's nothing left to [A]hide
You really can't be [C]serious
if you have to ask me [Dsus2]why
I say [F]goodbye...
Chorus
'Cause I am barely [C]breathing
And I can't find the [G]air
I don't know who I'm [Am]kidding
Imagining you [F]care
And I could stand here [C]waiting
A fool for another [G]day
But I don't suppose it's [Am]worth the price,
worth the price
The price that I would pay
Verse
Everyone keeps [Em]asking,
what's it all [A]about?
I used to be so [C]certain
and I can't figure [Dsus2]out
What is this [Em]attraction?
I only feel the [A]pain
There's nothing left to [C]reason
and only you to [Dsus2]blame
D*
Will it ever change?
Chorus
'Cause I am barely [C]breathing
And I can't find the [G]air
I don't know who I'm [Am]kidding
Imagining you [F]care
And I could stand here [C]waiting
A fool for another [G]day
But I don't suppose it's [Am]worth the price,
worth the price
The price that I would pay
Verse
[C]But I'm thinking it over [G]anyway...
I've [D]come to find
I may [Am]never know
Your [G]changing mind
Is it [F]friend or foe?
I [D]rise above
Or [Am]sink below
With [G]every time
You [F]come and go
[F]Please don't come and [Em]go
Chorus
'Cause I am barely [C]breathing
And I can't find the [G]air
I don't know who I'm [Am]kidding
Imagining you [F]care
And I could stand here [C]waiting
A fool for another [G]day
But I don't suppose it's [Am]worth the price,
worth the price
The price that I would pay
Outro
Well, I know what you're [Em]doing,
I see it all too [A]clear
