Barely Breathing - Duncan Sheik (?)

Transcribed by Corey Brown At BrownCSA@AOL.com

I just taped this from the radio and tried to figure it out.  I don^?t know

how correct it is.  It sounds o.k. to play, but any additions would be great.

I think they are using 2 guitars at some points, so these are just the basic

chords I could hear.

The chord progressions over the stansas repeat, so I didn't write all the

chords out.  This is my first time writing a song out on the computer so I

hope it's o.k.  If you listen to this song, you can hear the changes.

Intro - Em7, A7, C9, D2

                Em7                  A7

I know what you^?re doing, I see it all too clear

                 C9                        D2

I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears

You really had me going, wishing on a star

The black holes that surround you are heavier by far

I believed in your confusion, you^?re so completely torn

It must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born

Not much to examine, not enough to hide

You really can^?t be serious to have to ask me why

         F

I say goodbye

CH:

                C9                       G

Cause I am barely breathing, I can^?t find the air

                 Asus7               F

Don^?t know who I^?m kidding, imagining you care

                     C9                        G

And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day

                 Asus7                           F

I Don^?t suppose it^?s worth the price, it^?s worth the price, the price that I

would pay

And everyone keeps asking what^?s it all about

I used to be so certain, now I can^?t figure out

What is this attraction, it^?s only filled by pain

And nothing left to reason, and only you to blame

Will it ever change?

CH:

C9                  G          Asus7   F

   But I^?m thinking it over anyway

             C9           G        Asus7   F

I^?m thinking it over anyway             Ah

D              Am

Come to find, I may never know

G                F

A changing mind is a friend or foe

I^?ll rise above, I^?ll sink below

But everytime you come and go

F                       Em

Please don^?t come and go

CH:

Addition

      F

I know what you^?re doing

     Em        G

I see it all too clear

TAB

         Em7      A7      C9     D2      G     Asus7

This is my first contribution to OLGA, but hopefully not the last.

I'll try to keep this simple, because, well it's a pretty simple song.

Intro:  Em7  A  C(add9)  D  Em7

The same chords are played throughout the verses:

Well 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

The blackholes that surround you, are heavier by far

I believed in your confusion, so completely torn

It must have been that yesterday, was the day that I was born

There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide

You really can't be serious, you have to ask me why

       Fmaj9

I will say goodbye

Chorus:

                 Cadd9

Cause I am barely breathing

                 Gadd9

and I can't find the air

                 Am7

Don't know who I'm kidding

              Fadd9

Imagining you care

(Repeat)

And I could stand here waiting

Ooo, for another day

I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price

The price that I would payyyy

                    Gadd9     Am7

But I'm thinking it over, anyway

***Listen to the song for the rest of the lyrics...he sings pretty

clear...if anyone wants to add lyrics or if they disagree w/ the chords

please feel free to let me know.
