Em A7
I know what you're doing, I see it all to clear
C9 D9
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
Em A7
You really had me going, wishing on a star
C9 D9
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
F7+
I say good-bye...
C9
'Cause I am barely breathing
G
And I can't find the air
Am
I don't know who I'm kidding
F7+
Imagining you care
C9
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
F7+
The price that I would pay
(Em A7 C9 D9)
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
F7+
Will it ever change'
(C9 G Am F7+)
'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
But I'm thinking it over anyway...
D Am
I've come to find I may never know
G F7+
Your changing mind Is it friend or foe ?
D Am
I rise above Or sink below
G F7+
With every time You come and go
Em...
Please don't come and go
(C9 G Am F7+)
'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
But I'm thinking it over anyway...
