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...
