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

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.
