Verse 1
C C 
 
Things were happening
Am7 Am7 
 
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
I felt  the weight of the expectation
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
on my chest
C C 
 
My mind was traveling
Am7 Am7 
 
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
But I     swear that I don't re       member
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
where it       went
C C 
 
They said things were growing
Am7 Am7 
 
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
So why   do I feel like     nothing at all is       left?
C C 
 
So I'll keep on moving
Am7 Am7 
 
If I'm standing still
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
then     I'll feel the emptiness

Pre-chorus 1
C C 
 
'Cause I get so lonely
Am7 Am7 
 
and you get so low
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
And      I look so stu      pid when I lose control
C C 
 
I'm alone in my bedroom
Am7 Am7 
 
and the walls are caving in
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
And      I thought I'd be hap      py,
but I'm barely breathing

Chorus 1
Oh, I'm barely breathing
C C 
 
Am7 Am7 
 
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Oh, 'cause I'm feeling down, but I'm      falling up
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
And I'm breaking out, but not out of luck
C C 
 
Am7 Am7 
 
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
As I breathe the air   in       to my lungs
I wanted everything
but nothing's ever good enough
C C 
 
(Ooh)

Verse 2
C C 
 
I gotta change me
Am7 Am7 
 
And if    I wake up now
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
there's  a chance to start again,    mm, mm
C C 
 
But if I wait
Am7 Am7 
 
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Could I get back to       the place
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
where it all      began before

Pre-chorus 2
C C 
 
I got so lonely
Am7 Am7 
 
and you got so low
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Fadd9 Fadd9

when you came to my show
C C 
 
I'm alone in this spotlight

And I        thought I'd be hap      py,
but I'm barely breathing

Chorus 2
Oh, I'm barely breathing
C C 
 
Am7 Am7 
 
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Oh, 'cause I'm feeling down, but I'm      falling up
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
And I'm breaking out, but not out of luck
C C 
 
Am7 Am7 
 
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
As I breathe the air   in       to my lungs
I wanted everything

Bridge 1
but nothing's ever good enough
C C 
 
Am7 Am7 
 
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
(Ooh) And I hate  the man that I've     turned into
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
And I've come so far, what did I lose?
C C 
 
Am7 Am7 
 
Gsus4 Gsus4 
 
And I swear to    God I'll     make it through
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
I'll make it through
