Strum
D-DU-UDU
,,,  2x
 I know what you're doing,
 I see it all to clear
 I only taste the saline
 when I kiss away your tears
 You really had me going,
 wishing on a star
 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
  I say good-bye...
  *CHOURS*
 '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
 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
 Will it ever change?

I know what you're do[Em]ing,
I see it all to c[A]lear
I only taste the s[C]aline
when I kiss away your t[Dsus2]ears
You really had me go[Em]ing,
wishing on a st[A]ar
But the black holes that sur[C]round you
are heavier by f[Dsus2]ar
I believed in your conf[Em]usion,
you were so completely t[A]orn
Well it must have been that yes[C]terday
was the day that I was b[Dsus2]orn
There's not much to ex[Em]amine,
there's nothing left to h[A]ide
You really can't be seri[C]ous
if you have to ask me w[Dsus2]hy

 I say good-[F]bye...

And I can't find the a[G]ir
I don't know who I'm ki[Am]dding
Imagining you ca[F]re
And I could stand here wa[C]iting
A fool for another d[G]ay
But I don't suppose it's w[Am]orth the price,

worth the price

The price that I would pay

Everyone keeps as[Em]king,
what's it all ab[A]out?
I used to be so cer[C]tain
and I can't figure o[Dsus2]ut
What is this attr[Em]action?
I only feel the p[A]ain
There's nothing left to r[C]eason
and only you to b[Dsus2]lame
Will it ever c[D]hange?
