Verse 1
G G 
 
Things were happening
Em7 Em7 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
I felt  the weight of the expectation
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
on my chest
G G 
 
My mind was traveling
Em7 Em7 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
But I     swear that I don't re       member
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
where it       went
G G 
 
They said things were growing
Em7 Em7 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
So why   do I feel like     nothing at all is       left?
G G 
 
So I'll keep on moving
Em7 Em7 
 
If I'm standing still
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
then     I'll feel the emptiness

Pre-chorus 1
G G 
 
'Cause I get so lonely
Em7 Em7 
 
and you get so low
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
Cadd9 Cadd9

G G 
 
I'm alone in my bedroom

Chorus 1
Oh, I'm barely breathing
G G 
 
Em7 Em7 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
Oh, 'cause I'm feeling down, but I'm      falling up
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
And I'm breaking out, but not out of luck
G G 
 
Em7 Em7 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4

As I breathe the air   in       to my lungs
I wanted everything
but nothing's ever good enough
G G 
 
(Ooh)

Verse 2
G G 
 
I gotta change me
Em7 Em7 
 
And if    I wake up now
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
there's  a chance to start again,    mm, mm
G G 
 
But if I wait
Em7 Em7 
 
Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
Could I get back to       the place
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
where it all      began before

Dsus4 Dsus4 
 
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
As I breathe the air   in       to my lungs
I wanted everything
