If you could only see 

That I was not put here for you 
A                   E                   F# 
To judge me and dispute my inner most truth  
  
F# 
And after all these years of 

Enmity, envy and tears 
A                  E                F# 
It's a shame you don't know me at all  
  
F# 
I was wondering 

Would you cry for me? 
A               E 
If I told you that I couldn't breathe 
A              E 
If I was drowning, suffocating 
A               E                  F# 
If I told you that I couldn't breathe  
  
F#m 
Those ancient buried recollections 
G#m 
We transform them and select them 
          Bm            Dm 
You have yours, I have mine 
F# 
That's fine 
F#m 
While we're too torn to heal 
G#m 
Our stitch has never disappeared 
Bm                     Dm 
I have mine, you have yours 
F# 
I'm sure  
  
F# 
I was wondering 

Would you reach for me 
A               E              F# 
If you saw that I was languishing  
F# 
I was wondering 

Would you cry for me? 
A               E 
If I told you that I couldn't breathe 
A              E 
If I was drowning, suffocating 
A               E                  F# 
If I told you that I couldn't breathe
