VERSE 1
~~~~~~~
N.C.(Dsus2)        Em7                     A7
I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear
                 C9                           Dsus2
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
                  Em7                 A7
You really had me going, wishing on a star
                     C9                           Dsus2
The black holes that surround you, are heavier by far
                   Em7                             A7
I believed in your confusion, you're so completely torn
                       C9                               Dsus2
It must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born
            Em7                    A7
Not much to examine, not enough to hide
                    C9                        Dsus2
You really can't be serious to have to ask me why
          F
I say goodbye

CHORUS
~~~~~~
                  C9                          G
Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air
                   Asus7                  F
Don't know who I'm kidding, imagining you care
                       C9                          G
And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day
                               Asus7   
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
    F                  C9
The price that I would pay


N.C.(Dsus2)        Em7                   A7
And everyone keeps asking, what's it all about
                C9                    Dsus2
I used to be so certain, now I can^Òt figure out
             Em7                             A7
What is this attraction, it's only filled by pain
                    C9                      Dsus2
And nothing left to reason, and only you to blame
             F
Will it ever change?

[Repeat Chorus]

2ND CHORUS ADDITION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C9                       G       Asus7
But I'm thinking it over anyway
C9                   G       Asus7  F
I'm thinking it over anyway         Ah

BRIDGE
~~~~~~
D             Am
Come to find, I may never know
G                F
A changing mind, is a friend or foe
D                Am
I'll rise above, I'll sink below
G              F
But everytime, you come and go
F                       C9
Please don't come and go

OUTRO
~~~~~
C9                 F
I know what you're doing
C9               G
I see it all too clear
