Duncan Shiek – Barely Breathing

Intro: Em A A4 C9 D9/F# (2x)pause

Em A
I know what you’re doing, I see it all to clear
A4 C9 D9/F#
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears.
Em A
You really had me going, wishing on a star.
A4 C9 D9/F#
The black holes that surround you are heavier by far,
Em A
I believed in your confusion, you’re so completely torn.
A4 C9 D9/F#
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.
A4 C9 D9/F#
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, it’s worth the price
FM9/C
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah.
Em A
Everyone keeps asking, “what’s it all about?”
A4 C9 D9/F#
I used to be so certain, now I can’t figure out.
Em A
What is this attraction, it’s only filled by pain?
A4 C9 D9/F#
There’s nothing left to reason and only you to blame,
FM9/C
Will it ever change?

[Chorus]
C9 G9 Am FM9/C
But, I’m thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah…
C9 G9 Am FM9/C
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]

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…
