Verse:
N.C.               Em                     A
I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear
   A9             C9/G                        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/G                        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/G                             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/G                       D9
You really can't be serious, to have to ask me why
       FM9/C
I say, goodbye...


Chorus:
                   C9                          G9
'Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air
                     Am                    FM9/C
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, you're worth the price
     FM9/C
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah

                Em                     A
Everyone keeps asking, "What's it all about?"
  A9             C9/G                       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/G                   D9
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame,
             FM9/C
Will it ever change?


Chorus:
                   C9                          G9
'Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air
                     Am                    FM9/C
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, you're worth the price
    FM9/C
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah


                     C9      G9               Am   FM9/C
But, I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...


Bridge:
D                 Am
I've come to find,  I may never know
C9                 Gm13
Your changing mind,    is it friend or foe?
D            Am
I rise above   or sink below
C9             Gm13
With every time    you come and go
                       FM9/C (pause)
Please, don't come and go...


Chorus:
                   C9                          G9
'Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air
                     Am                    FM9/C
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, you're worth the price
    FM9/C
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah


Outro:
                     C9    G9                 Am   FM9/C
But, I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...
                C9    G9                 Am   FM9/C
I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...
                 FM9/C  (pause)
I know what your doin', I see it all too clear...
