I Can Barely Breathe

E
When the dark flood came
D
we wrapped ourselves inside a dirty blanket
E
citing different opinions
D
on whether we should move

E
when the houses came
D
they ate up everyone like they were fishes
E
saying, "come on, come on
D
its the end of the world"

E
and then I saw your face
D
you're turning skin into a dirty secret
E
I watched the beauties, watched the fire
D
and the fire burn the beauty in their eyes

E
when I took the blame
D
we layed in ruins trying to quote your phrase
E
we're yelling, "someone's got the answers,
D
but I'd rather think there's nothing to be found"

C                         D                     E
if you knew I was dying would it change you?

C                                                           D          
                                       E
So when you see me falling backwards down the wall that says I'm still alive,
C                                          D                           
               E
don't be cautious when I'm cautiously approaching on the other side
C                                                           D          
                         E
everybody has their reasons, that's the reason we're all going to die

                 C
because if seeing is believing,
        D                                             E
then believe that we have lost our eyes

C                 D                E
when I fly solo, I fly so high (x8)
E              D                  C
don't touch me now.

C     D       E  (x8)

C               D                 E
We all deserve something
