[Intro]  Am  G  Am  G

Am
 Back off a minute
 G             Em           F
 I need to be alone just to breath
Am
 I try to hold it
 G                  Em    F
 Somehow it doesn't do anything it's hopeless
Am                        G
 You come around, I close my lips for you
Em             F
 You leave and I can finally let loose
Am                   G             Em          F
 I never really knew that we would end up this way

Am      G                 Em           F
Usually don't know how to handle these things
        Am              G         Em    F
But I'm trying my best, can't you tell?

Am              G
One last breath in me
  Em                     F
I know you wanna take it away
             Am                     G
You got your hands around my throat
          Em               F
So I only breathe when I'm alone
Am                G
There's none left in me
Em                    F
You don't really care either way
               Am
It's hard to inhale when you're too close
G         Em               F
So I only breathe when I'm alone

Am                          G
 Can't hold it back, I'm suffocating
        Em                 F
 You're controlling me and I can't escape, oh, no
Am                       G          Em   F
 I wish I would've known about your evil plans
Am                           G
 Keep falling for these childish games
                Em            F
 They're getting old to me, I don't wanna play, oh, no
Am                     G      Em      F
 I never really needed you to hold my hand

Am      G                 Em           F
Usually don't know how to handle these things
        Am              G         Em    F
But I'm trying my best, can't you tell?

Am              G
One last breath in me
  Em                     F
I know you wanna take it away
             Am                     G
You got your hands around my throat
          Em               F
So I only breathe when I'm alone
Am                G
There's none left in me
Em                    F
You don't really care either way
               Am
It's hard to inhale when you're too close
G         Em               F
So I only breathe when I'm alone
