(intro)  D  G  Bm  A

D
Harness your heart, and be still now
G
Quiet that mind that will wander
Bm           A
All sorts of dark alleys

D
Tragedy strikes your self esteem
G
Constantly waiting for an ending
Bm         A
To all of this

Bm
She opens her eyes
A
Suddenly she cries
G
Can we help her, can we help her?
    G       A
And she replies:

G                         D
You know, I fake it oh so well
                       Bm
That God himself can't tell
                       A                   G
What I mean and why my words are less than parallel
         D
With my feet
                  Bm
You ask me what I need
                 A
And all I really need
      D
Is to breathe

    G     Bm
Oooohh
  A
Ahhaah

D
People, they seem so interested
G
Only a few get invested
Bm            A
With all the aches and pains

D
Doctor oh doctor, please help her
G
I fear she may not be breathing
Bm               A
Blue lips, and doe eyes

That's her disguise.

G                         D
You know, I fake it oh so well
                       Bm
That God himself can't tell
                       A                   G
What I mean and why my words are less than parallel
         D
With my feet
                  Bm
You ask me what I need
                 A
And all I really need
      Bm
Is to breathe

Oooooh
G
Ooooh, oh
D
Oooooh
D
Oooooh

Bm
(Oooooh)
Give me some space to breathe
Bm                A
(Ooooh, oh)
I need a little room to breathe
D
Give me some space to breathe
D                       A       Bm
All I need is a little room to breathe.

D
(Ooooh)

              Bm
I fake it oh so well
     A
That God can't tell

G                         D
You know, I fake it oh so well
                       Bm
That God himself can't tell
                       A                   G
What I mean and why my words are less than parallel
         D
With my feet
                  Bm
You ask me what I need
                 A        G      D
And all I really need
      Bm     A
Is to breathe
Let me breathe
