D                   G  
Never try to understand me
F#m    Bm             Em   A    
Expectation makes me old
D                         G
Hide your pennies in the sand
                F#m        Bm   
Somehow I am supposed to know
    Em               A            G      D
The hardest thing to do is let it go

                          G
Yeah I know we've been affected
   F#m         Bm        Em        A
Perfected the power to charm
D                 G
Did we serve to entertain
        F#m            Bm
Did we find someone to blame
       Em               A
What I said and what I did 
               G
Were not the same


Chorus
   D         G                 D
Ooooh I am breathing  (I am breathing)
G   Bm       A             Em
Ooooh I am leaving in the morning baby 
D               A                G           D
You can think about it when I'm gone

         G
Could we lie
             F#m    Bm
Behind the fables
Em           A              D
Heroes and heroin 
                   G
The weight here is far too much 
        F#m     Bm
To be worth so little
          Em           A  
But will she come and stay with me

Chorus

Bridge
D                     Em
Did we serve to entertain
                        F#m
Did we find someone to blame
                         Em7
Was it something in your head
                          A
Was it something in your name
                         Bm
Give me something I can hold
       C              G
I can try my best to help you 
       C              G
If you never let me down

       D           G
Never try to understand her
    F#m           Bm
Her roles and her ruin
     Em       A
Are very unforgiving
D                       G
Do the things that you think you should
            F#m         Bm
To let you know you're alive
         Em             A
You are young you are beautiful
