Verse 1:
          E
I'll be back, I'll be back
                                Dbm
That's what you said when you left me
                E
I wish I could stay, I wish I could stay
                                        Dbm
But I need some space and you're in the way

Chorus:
         E             A
Can you see me? I'm dancing on my own
          Dbm           A
Can you hear me? I'm crying out for help
           E
Is it ignorance or selfishness?
             A                            Dbm
You said stay here but I'm running out of air
                         A           E
I hope you know, as I wait I suffocate
 
Verse 2:
             E
I hope you know, I hope you know
                                  Dbm
The air gets cold when you don't hold me
               E
The sky turns grey, the sky turns grey
                           Dbm
The flowers fade and blow away

Can you hear me? I'm crying out for help

Is it ignorance or selfishness?
            A                              Dbm

I hope you know, as I wait I suffocate
 
Bridge:
                     E                      A
