Em7, A, Cadd9, D, Em7, A, Cadd9, D

VERSE 1
~~~~~~~
N.C.(D)          Em7                          A
I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear
                 Cadd9                           D
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
                  Em7                  A
You really had me going, wishing on a star
                     Cadd9                         D
The black holes that surround you, are heavier by far
                   Em7                              A
I believed in your confusion, you're so completely torn
                       Cadd9                               D
It must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born
            Em7                     A
Not much to examine, not enough to hide
                    Cadd9                       D
You really can't be serious to have to ask me why
          Fmaj9
I say goodbye

CHORUS
~~~~~~
                  Cadd9                    Gadd9
Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air
                   Am7                  Fmaj9
Don't know who I'm kidding, imagining you care
                       Caa9                         Gadd9
And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day
                               Am7   
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
    Fmaj9
The price that I would pay


N.C.(D)          Em7                       A
And everyone keeps asking, what's it all about
                 Cadd9                       D
I used to be so certain, now I can't figure out
             Em7                             A
What is this attraction, it's only filled by pain
                  Cadd9                        D
And nothing left to reason, and only you to blame
             Fmaj9
Will it ever change?

[Repeat Chorus]

2ND CHORUS ADDITION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                     Gadd9     Am7  Fmaj9
But I'm thinking it over anyway
                Cadd9      Gadd9    Fmaj9
I'm thinking it over anyway         Ah

BRIDGE
~~~~~~
D               Am9
I come to find, I may never know
Cmaj9            Gmaj9
A changing mind, is it friend or foe?
D             Am9
I rise above, I sink below
Cmaj9          Gm9
And everytime, you come and go
Gm9
Please don't come and go

OUTRO
