Duncan Sheik – Barely Breathing
Capo: no capo
D* x57775
[Intro]
Em A C Dsus2 x2
[Verse]
Em
I know what you’re doing,
A
I see it all too clear
C
I only taste the saline
Dsus2
when I kiss away your tears
Em
You really had me going,
A
wishing on a star
C
But the black holes that surround you
Dsus2
are heavier by far
Em
I believed in your confusion,
A
you were so completely torn
C
Well it must have been that yesterday
Dsus2
was the day that I was born
Em
There’s not much to examine,
A
there’s nothing left to hide
C
You really can’t be serious
Dsus2
if you have to ask me why
F
I say goodbye…
[Chorus]
C
‘Cause I am barely breathing
G
And I can’t find the air
Am
I don’t know who I’m kidding
F
Imagining you care
C
And I could stand here waiting
G
A fool for another day
Am
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price,
worth the price
The price that I would pay
[Verse]
Em
Everyone keeps asking,
A
what’s it all about?
C
I used to be so certain
Dsus2
and I can’t figure out
Em
What is this attraction?
A
I only feel the pain
C
There’s nothing left to reason
Dsus2
and only you to blame
D*
Will it ever change?
[Chorus]
C
‘Cause I am barely breathing
G
And I can’t find the air
Am
I don’t know who I’m kidding
F
Imagining you care
C
And I could stand here waiting
G
A fool for another day
Am
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price,
worth the price
The price that I would pay
[Verse]
C G
But I’m thinking it over anyway…
D
I’ve come to find
Am
I may never know
G
Your changing mind
F
Is it friend or foe?
D
I rise above
Am
Or sink below
G
With every time
F
You come and go
F Em
Please don’t come and go
[Chorus]
C
‘Cause I am barely breathing
G
And I can’t find the air
Am
I don’t know who I’m kidding
F
Imagining you care
C
And I could stand here waiting
G
A fool for another day
Am
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price,
worth the price
The price that I would pay
[Outro]
Em
Well, I know what you’re doing,
A
I see it all too clear
