Intro:  Em A9 C9 Dsus D  2x


[Verse]
                     Em                     A
I know what you're doing, I see it all to clear
    A9             C9                         D9/F#
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears.
                     Em                 A
You really had me going, wishing on a star.
      A9               C9                       D9/F#
The black holes that surround you are heavier by far,
                        Em                           A  
I believed in your confusion, you're so completely torn.
     A9                  C9                            D9/F#
It must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born.
                       Em                      A
There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide.
     A9               C9                       D9/F#
You really can't be serious, to have to ask me why
        FM9/C
I say goodbye...


 
[Chorus]

                     C9                          G9
'Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air,
                      Am                    FM9/C
I don't know who I'm kidding imagining you care;
                          C9                        G9
And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day;
                      Am
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
      FM9/C
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah. 



                 Em                     A
Everyone keeps asking, "what's it all about?"
   A9             C9                        D9/F#
I used to be so certain, now I can't figure out.
                  Em                           A
What is this attraction, it's only filled by pain?
          A9              C9                    D9/F#
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame,
               FM9/C
Will it ever change?
 
Chorus:
                     C9                          G9
'Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air,
                      Am                    FM9/C
I don't know who I'm kidding imagining you care;
                          C9                        G9
And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day;
                      Am
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
      FM9/C
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah. 

                      C9    G9                 Am   FM9/C----
But, I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...


[Bridge:]

 D                 Am
I've come to find,  I may never know
 C9                 Gm13
Your changing mind,    is it friend or foe? 

 D            Am
I rise above   or sink below
 C9             Gm13
With every time    you come and go
                        FM9/C (pause)
Please, don't come and go...


Chorus:
                     C9                          G9
'Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air,
                      Am                    FM9/C
I don't know who I'm kidding imagining you care;
                          C9                        G9
And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day;
                      Am
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
      FM9/C
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah. 

[Outro]
                      C9    G9                 Am   FM9/C----
But, I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...
                 C9    G9                 Am   FM9/C----
I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...
                  FM9/C  (pause)
I know what your doin', I see it all too clear...
