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
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/sheik_duncan/barely_breathing_crd.html ]
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.
