Barely Breathing Tab

intro:  ,,,   2x
                     
I know what you're doing,
                 
I see it all to clear
                  
I only taste the saline
                       
when I kiss away your tears
                    
You really had me going,
               
wishing on a star
                            
But the black holes that surround you
                
are heavier by far
                       
I believed in your confusion,
                        
you were so completely torn
                               
Well it must have been that yesterday
                        
was the day that I was born
                      
There's not much to examine,
                         
there's nothing left to hide
                        
You really can't be serious 
                       
if you have to ask me why

            
 I say good-bye... 
 *CHOURS*             
'Cause I am barely breathing
                      
And I can't find the air
                       
I don't know who I'm kidding
                
Imagining you care
                         
And I could stand here waiting
                    
A fool for another day
                          
But I don't suppose it's worth the price,

worth the price

The price that I would pay 


                 
Everyone keeps asking,
                
what's it all about?
                   
I used to be so certain
                    
and I can't figure out
                 
What is this attraction?
                 
I only feel the pain
                         
There's nothing left to reason 
                 
and only you to blame
               (5th) 
Will it ever change?
 
*CHOURS*
                         
But I'm thinking it over anyway...
      
I've come to find
       
I may never know
      
Your changing mind
        
Is it friend or foe? 
   
I rise above
    
Or sink below
      
With every time
     
You come and go
                     
Please don't come and go 

*CHOURS*
                        
Well, i know what your doin,
                   
I see it all too clear
