Barely Breathing - Austin Ukulele Society (AUS)

Barely BreathingDuncan Sheik, 1996Intro (4 beats per chord – play twice)Em A C DVerse 1[no chords] Em AI know what you're doing, I see it all too clearCDI only taste the saline when I kiss away your tearsEmAYou really had me going, wishing on a starCBut the black holes that sur-round youDAre heavier by farVerse 2EmI believed in your con-fusionAYou were so completely tornCIt must have been that yesterday

DWas the day that I was bornEmThere's not much to ex-amineAThere's nothing left to hideCYou really can't be seriousDIf you have to ask me whyFFI say good-byeChorus[no chords]'Cause I am barely breathingCGGAnd I can't find the airAmAmI don't know who I'm kiddingFImagining you careCAnd I could stand here waitingGA fool for another day

AmI don't suppose it's worth the price,FIt's worth the price, the price that I would payVerse 3[no chords] Em AEveryone keeps asking, what's it all a-bout?CDI used to be so certain and now I can't figure outEmAWhat is this at-traction? I only feel the painCDThere's nothing left to reason and only you to blameWill it ever change?FChorus[no chords]C'Cause I am barely breathingGAnd I can't find the airAmI don't know who I'm kiddingFImagining you care

CAnd I could stand here waitingGA fool for another dayAmI don't suppose it's worth the price,FCIt's worth the price, the price that I would pay - yayG Am FBut I'm thinking it over any-wa - ayC G Am FI'm thinking it over any-way–yay–yay-yay, yeah, OhBridgeDAmI've come to find, I may never knowCYour changing mind, is it friend or foe?BbB bDAmI rise above or sink belowCBbWith every time you come and goBbFPlease don't, come and go, oh
