Verse 1
E E 
 
Things were happening
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
I felt   the weight of the expectation
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
on my chest
E E 
 
My mind was traveling
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
But I      swear that I don't re       member
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
where it       went
E E 
 
They said things were growing
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
So why    do I feel like     nothing at all is       left?
E E 
 
So I'll keep on moving
C#m7 C#m7 
 
If I'm standing still
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
then     I'll feel the emptiness

Pre-chorus 1
E E 
 
'Cause I get so lonely
C#m7 C#m7 
 
and you get so low
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
And      I look so stu      pid when I lose control
E E 
 
I'm alone in my bedroom
C#m7 C#m7 
 
and the walls are caving in
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
And      I thought I'd be hap      py,
but I'm barely breathing

Chorus 1
Oh, I'm barely breathing
E E 
 
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
Oh, 'cause I'm feeling down,  but I'm      falling up
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
And I'm breaking out, but not out of luck
E E 
 
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
As I breathe the air    in       to my lungs
I wanted everything
but nothing's ever good enough
E E 
 
(Ooh)

Verse 2
E E 
 
I gotta change me
C#m7 C#m7 
 
And if     I wake up now
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
there's  a chance to start again,    mm, mm
E E 
 
But if I wait
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
Could  I get back to       the place
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
where it all      began before

E E 
 
I got so lonely
C#m7 C#m7 
 
and you got so low

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

and the walls are caving    in

Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
And I        thought I'd be hap      py,
but I'm barely breathing

Chorus 2
Oh, I'm barely breathing
E E 
 
C#m7 C#m7

Oh, 'cause I'm feeling down,  but I'm      falling up

And I'm breaking out, but not out of luck
E E 
 
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
Aadd9 Aadd9 
 
As I breathe the air    in       to my lungs
I wanted everything

but nothing's ever good enough
E E 
 
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
(Ooh) And I hate   the man that I've     turned into

And I've come so far, what did I lose?
E E

I'll make it through
