DG Never try to understand me F#mBmEmA Expectation makes me old DG Hide your pennies in the sand F#mBm Somehow I am supposed to know EmAGD The hardest thing to do is let it go
G Yeah I know we've been affected F#mBmEmA Perfected the power to charm DG Did we serve to entertain F#mBm Did we find someone to blame EmA What I said and what I did G Were not the same
Chorus DGD Ooooh I am breathing (I am breathing) GBmAEm Ooooh I am leaving in the morning baby DAGD You can think about it when I'm gone
G Could we lie F#mBm Behind the fables EmAD Heroes and heroin G The weight here is far too much F#mBm To be worth so little EmA But will she come and stay with me
Chorus
Bridge DEm Did we serve to entertain F#m Did we find someone to blame Em7 Was it something in your head A Was it something in your name Bm Give me something I can hold CG I can try my best to help you CG If you never let me down
DG Never try to understand her F#mBm Her roles and her ruin EmA Are very unforgiving DG Do the things that you think you should F#mBm To let you know you're alive EmA You are young you are beautiful
