Barely Breathing

                    Em                     A7
I know what you’re doing, I see it all to clear
                  C9                           D9
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
                   Em                   A7
You really had me going, wishing on a star
                             C9                      D9
But the black holes that surround you are heavier by far
                   Em                               A7
I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn
                            C9                                 D9
Well it must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born
                    Em                               A7
There’s not much to examine, there’s nothing left to hide
                    C9                              D9
You really can’t be serious if you have to ask me why
   F
I say good-bye...

                     C9
Cause I am barely breathing
               G
And I can’t find the air
                   Am
I don’t know who I’m kidding
            F
Imagining you care
                        C9
And I could stand here waiting
                    G
A fool for another day
                          Am
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price, worth the price
     F
The price that I would pay

(Em   A7   C9   D9)
Everyone keeps asking, what’s it all about?
I used to be so certain and I can’t figure out
What is this attraction? I only feel the pain
There’s nothing left to reason and only you to blame
            F7+
Will it ever change?

(C9   G   Am   F)
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
I don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay
But I’m thinking it over anyway...

D                Am
I’ve come to find I may never know
G                 F
Your changing mind Is it friend or foe?
D           Am
I rise above Or sink below
G              F
With every time You come and go
                        Em
Please don’t come and go

(C9   G   Am   F)
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
I don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay
But I’m thinking it over anyway...
