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^Òt 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^Òre 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^Òre 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^Òt be serious to have to ask me why

F

I say goodbye

CH:

C9 G

Cause I am barely breathing, I can^Òt find the air

Asus7 F

Don^Òt know who I^Òm kidding, imagining you care

C9 G

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

Asus7 F

I Don^Òt suppose it^Òs worth the price, it^Òs worth the price, the price that I

would pay

And everyone keeps asking what^Òs it all about

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

What is this attraction, it^Òs 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^Òm thinking it over anyway

C9 G Asus7 F

I^Òm 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^Òll rise above, I^Òll sink below

But everytime you come and go

F Em

Please don^Òt come and go

CH:

Addition

F

I know what you^Òre doing

Em G

I see it all too clear

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.
