Intro -x2-: Em A A9 C9 D9
 
Verse:
                    Em                     A
I know what you're doing, I see it all to clear
   A9             C9                           D9   
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   
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   
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   
You really can't be serious, to have to ask me why
       F9   
I say goodbye...
  
Chorus:
                    C9                          G9
'Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air,
                     Am                    F9   
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
     F9   
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah. 
 
 
                Em                     A
Everyone keeps asking, "what's it all about?"
  A9             C9                         D9   
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   
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame,
              F9   
Will it ever change?
 
Chorus:
                    C9                          G9
'Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air,
                     Am                    F9   
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
     F9   
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah. 
 
 
                     C9    G9                 Am   F9       
But, I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...
 
Bridge:
D                 Am
I've come to find,  I may never know
C9                 Gm  
Your changing mind,    is it friend or foe? 
 
 
D            Am
I rise above   or sink below
C9             Gm  
With every time    you come and go
                       F9    -pause-
Please, don't come and go...
 
Chorus:
                    C9                          G9
'Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air,
                     Am                    F9   
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
     F9   
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah. 
 
Outro:
                     C9    G9                 Am   F9       
But, I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...
                C9    G9                 Am   F9       
I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...
                 F9     -pause-
I know what your doin', I see it all too clear...
