Verse 1:
            D
Things were happening
                              A            G
I felt the weight of the expectation on my chest
            D
My mind was travellin'
                           A              G
But I swear that I don't remember where it went
                               D
Then you said things will grow in
                      A                G
So why do I feel like nothing at all is left?
                D
So I'll keep on moving
                                A             G   N.C.
If I'm standing still then I'll feel the emptiness

Pre-Chorus:
                D                     Bm
'Cause I get so lonely and you get so low
    A           G
And I looked so stupid when I lose control
                D                                Bm
I'm alone in my bedroom and the walls are caving in
      A              G                             N.C.
And I thought I'd be happy but I'm barely breathing

Oh, I'm barely breathing


Chorus:
D                      Bm        A
I guess I'm feeling down but I'm falling up
G
  And I'm breaking out but not out of luck
D                     Bm  A
  As I breathe the air, into my lungs
G                         N.C.
  I wanted everything but nothing's ever good enough


Post-Chorus:
D
Ooh, ooh


Verse 2:
        D
I gotta change me
         Bm                    A                G
And if I wake up now there's a chance to start again (Hmm, hmm)
         D
But if I wait
        Bm                    A        G           N.C.
Could I get back to the place where it all began before?


Pre-Chorus:
         D                     Bm
I got so lonely and you got so low
    A           G
And I looked so stupid when you came to my show
                 D                                  Bm
I'm alone in the spotlight and the walls are caving in
      A              G                             N.C.
And I thought I'd be happy but I'm barely breathing

Oh, I'm barely breathing


Chorus:
D                      Bm        A
I guess I'm feeling down but I'm falling up
G
  And I'm breaking out but not out of luck
D                     Bm  A
  As I breathe the air, into my lungs
G                         N.C.
  I wanted everything but nothing's ever good enough


Post-Chorus:
D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
      Bm                     A
And I hate the man that I've turned into
G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

And I've come so far, what did I lose you?
D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
      Bm                A
And I swear to God I'll make it through
G
  I'll make it through


Bridge:
                D                     Bm
'Cause I get so lonely and you get so low
    A           D
And I looked so stupid when you came to my show
     D           Bm                                 A
I'm alone in the spotlight and the walls are caving in
      D              G                             N.C.
And I thought I'd be happy but I'm barely breathing

Oh, I'm barely breathing


Chorus:
D                      Bm        A
I guess I'm feeling down but I'm falling up
G
  And I'm breaking out but not out of luck
D                     Bm  A
  As I breathe the air, into my lungs
G                         N.C.
  I wanted everything but nothing's ever good enough
