Verse 1
B B 
 
Things were happening
G#m7 G#m7 
 
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
I felt   the weight of the expectation
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
on my chest
B B 
 
My mind was traveling
G#m7 G#m7 
 
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
But I      swear that I don't re        member
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
where it       went
B B 
 
They said things were growing
G#m7 G#m7 
 
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
So why    do I feel like      nothing at all is       left?
B B 
 
So I'll keep on moving
G#m7 G#m7 
 
If I'm standing still
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
then      I'll feel the emptiness

Pre-chorus 1
B B 
 
'Cause I get so lonely
G#m7 G#m7 
 
and you get so low
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
And       I look so stu      pid when I lose control
B B 
 
I'm alone in my bedroom
G#m7 G#m7 
 
and the walls are caving in
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
And       I thought I'd be hap      py,
but I'm barely breathing

Chorus 1
Oh, I'm barely breathing
B B 
 
G#m7 G#m7 
 
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
Oh, 'cause I'm feeling down,  but I'm       falling up
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
And I'm breaking out, but not out of luck
B B 
 
G#m7 G#m7 
 
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
As I breathe the air    in        to my lungs
I wanted everything
but nothing's ever good enough
B B 
 
(Ooh)

Verse 2
B B 
 
I gotta change me
G#m7 G#m7 
 
And if     I wake up now
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
there's   a chance to start again,    mm, mm
B B 
 
But if I wait
G#m7 G#m7 
 
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
Could  I get back to        the place
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
where it all      began before

Pre-chorus 2
B B 
 
I got so lonely
G#m7 G#m7 
 
and you got so low
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
And       I look so stu      pid
when you came to my show
B B 
 
I'm alone in this spotlight
G#m7 G#m7 
 
and the walls are caving    in
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
And I         thought I'd be hap      py,
but I'm barely breathing

Chorus 2
Oh, I'm barely breathing
B B 
 
G#m7 G#m7 
 
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
Oh, 'cause I'm feeling down,  but I'm       falling up

And I'm breaking out, but not out of luck
B B 
 
G#m7 G#m7 
 
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
As I breathe the air    in        to my lungs
I wanted everything

Bridge 1
but nothing's ever good enough
B B 
 
G#m7 G#m7 
 
F#sus4 F#sus4 
 
(Ooh) And I hate   the man that I've      turned into
Eadd9 Eadd9 
 
And I've come so far, what did I lose?
B B 
 
G#m7 G#m7

I'm alone      in this spot   light
B B 
 
and the walls are caving in

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