Suffocating

Verse 1:
C        D                Em
We don’t fight the way we used to do,
     G
TV’s doing all the talkin’,
          D
You still cry but not as often,
C       D                Em
Holding my hand like you have to,
        G
I don’t wash as many sweatshirts,
    D
You always used to forget yours.

Pre-chorus:
     Em     D   C
It’s eating me alive,
             C     Em   D
Watching you silently decide,
  Em     D       C
I see it in your eyes,
                 C          Em      D
Terrified you’ll say what’s on your mind.

Chorus:
                Cadd9
I feel like I’m suffocating,
Em7
You’re looking at me,
        G
Like we might not make it,
D
You are the only thing,
     Cadd9
I’ve found worth saving,
    Em7                        G
The only place that feels like home,
             D
You’re all I know,
   D                   C              Em
So please don’t let me go o o o o o o oo . . .
                    G               D
Please don’t let me go o o o oo o o oo . . .

Verse 2:
        C  C
And I’m in the weeds,
(nc)
To make this work,
          Em   Em
But we’re five feet deep,
   Em
In six foot dirt,
         G    G
And when it’s three words,
(nc)
It’s halfway true,
      D   D
Cuz I say them first,
    D
You say: “Me too”,
        C   C
And I’m pretty sure,
(nc)
We’re at goodbye,
    Em  Em
Cuz I’m still yours,
    Em
But you’re not mine,
     G
When I’m the only one,
          D
That even tries.

Chorus:
                Cadd9
I feel like I’m suffocating,
Em7
You’re looking at me,
        G
Like we might not make it,
D
You are the only thing,
     Cadd9
I’ve found worth saving,
    Em7                        G
The only place that feels like home,
             D
You’re all I know,
   D                   C              Em
So please don’t let me go o o o o o o oo . . .
                    G               D
Please don’t let me go o o o oo o o oo . . .
                    C               Em
Please don’t let me go o o o oo o o oo . . .
                    G               D
Please don’t let me go o o o oo o o oo . . .

Bridge:
C    C
Tell myself to keep it together,
Em   Em
Stay inside and wait out the weather,
G  G
Listen to your heart ‘til your heart hurts,
D D
It gets worse before it gets better,
 C C
“I love you” is not complicated,
Em   Em
It’s a yes or no situation,
G  G                              D
It shouldn’t be so hard to say it no . . .

Outro:

You’re looking at me,

Like we might not make it,
D
You are the only thing,
     Cadd9
I’ve found worth saving,
    Em7                        G

You’re all I know,

So please don’t let me go o o o o o o oo . . .
