                   Em7                     A7
I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear
                 C                            D
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
                  Em7                 A7
You really had me going, wishing on a star
                         C                           D
But the black holes that surround you are heavier by far
                   Em7                               A7
I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn
                            C                                D
Well it must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born
                    Em7                              A7
There's not much to examine, there's nothing left to hide
                    C                             D
You really can't be serious if you have to ask me why
      F
I say good-bye...
                   Cadd9
'Cause I am barely breathing
                G
And I can't find the air
                     Am
I don't know who I'm kidding
            FM7
Imagining you care
                       Cadd9
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
    FM7
The price that I would pay
               Em7                   A7
Everyone keeps asking, what's it all about?
                C                            D
I used to be so certain and I can't figure out
               Em7                  A7
What is this attraction?  I only feel the pain
                        C                      D
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame
            F
Will it ever change?
                   Cadd9
'Cause I am barely breathing
               G
And I can't find the air
                     Am
I don't know who I'm kidding
            FM7
Imagining you care
                       Cadd9
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
    FM7                    C
The price that I would pay
                    G       Am     FM7
But I'm thinking it over anyway
                    C       G   Am FM7
But I'm thinking it over anyway
D                    Am7
  I've come to find
                 CM7
I may never know
                   Gm7
Your changing mind
                     D
Is it friend or foe?
             Am7
I rise above
              CM7
Or sink below
                Gm7
With every time
You come and go
                         C/F F
Please don't come and go
                   Cadd9
'Cause I am barely breathing
               G
And I can't find the air
                     Am
I don't know who I'm kidding
            FM7
Imagining you care
                       Cadd9
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
    FM7                    C
The price that I would pay
                    G       Am     FM7
But I'm thinking it over anyway
                    C       G   Am FM7
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear
