Lyrics

[Intro]
Em7 A7 Cadd9 Dsus2
Em7 A7
Cadd9
Dsus2                     Em7
     I know what you're doing

[Verse 1]
I see it all too clear
A7                   Cadd9
  I only taste the saline
When I kiss away your tears
Dsus2                    Em7
     You really had me going
Wishing on a star
A7                             Cadd9
  The black holes that surround     you
Are heavier by far
Dsus2                        Em7
     I believed in your confusion
So completely torn
A7                       Cadd9
  Must have been that yesterday
Was the day that I was born
Dsus2                       Em7
     There's not much to examine
There's nothing left to hide
A7                      Cadd9
  You really can't be serious
If you have to ask me why
Dsus2     F
     I say goodbye
                         Cadd9
'Cause I am barely breathing

[Chorus]
                G
And I can't find the air
                  Am
Don't know who I'm  kidding
             F
Imagining you care
                           Cadd9
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
G                          Am
 I don't suppose it's worth  the price
It's worth the price, the price
F
 That I would pay,
                  Em7
Everyone keeps asking

[Verse 2]
What's it all about?
A7                   Cadd9
  I used to be so certain
Now I can't figure out
Dsus2                   Em7
     What is this attraction?
           A7
I only feel  the pain
                           Cadd9
There's nothing left to reason
And only you to blame
Dsus2            F
     Will it ever change?
                         Cadd9
'Cause I am barely breathing

[Chorus]
                G
And I can't find the air
                  Am
Don't know who I'm  kidding
             F
Imagining you care
                           Cadd9
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
G                          Am
 I don't suppose it's worth  the price
It's worth the price, the price
F
 That I would pay, yeah yeah,

[Post-Chorus]
Cadd9                    G
     But I'm thinking it over anyway
Am F                Cadd9
    I'm thinking it over anyway
G Am F

[Bridge]
D
 I've come to find
Am
  I may never know
Cadd9
     Your changing mind
Fsus4/G
       Is it friend or foe?
D            Am
 I rise above  or sink below
Cadd9
     With every time
Fsus4/G
       You come and go
Please don't come and go
F                         Cadd9
 'Cause I am barely breathing

[Chorus]
                G
And I can't find the air
                  Am
Don't know who I'm  kidding
             F
Imagining you care
                           Cadd9
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
G                              Am
 But I don't suppose it's worth  the price
It's worth the price, the price
F
 That I would pay,

[Post-Chorus]
Cadd9                    G
     But I'm thinking it over anyway
Am F                Cadd9
    I'm thinking it over anyway
G Am F
      Well, I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear
