Tom: C Verse 1 C Be honest with me F Did you ever think that these C things that you did F Would come back to haunt you Am and fail you again F C Don't ever question my will to admit F That when were alone it's C too hard to resist F Making believe that were C bigger than this F choosing a road that is Am different but similar F G To the same one i took before. Chorus: C why don't we breathe? F why can't you see Am that things are'nt always F what they appear to be? C And as simple as it sounds F I think i found Am F The perfect way to grow old |-3-0-1-0-0---3-0-1-5---| |-----------1-----------| |-----------------------| |-----------------------| |-----------------------| |-----------------------| Verse 2 C Simpleness describes F The iron that is you and your C rusty old life F get on with the mattress and Am tell tale lies F Watch everything that you C touch turn ice F were following the sheep C and they are at it again F making believe that they're C free as it seems F but only finding out that Am they're on a sinking ship C that doesn't care F how many it saves today C why don't we breathe? F why can't you see Am that things are'nt always F what they appear to be? C And as simple as it sounds F I think i found Am F The perfect way to grow old C watch out now F i see the light Am at the end of the tunnel C it seems realistic F Am that getting there will make us fine |---8------8-----8------7-----7----7---5-----5-----5--| |-----8------8-----------8-----8---------5-----5------| |-9------9-----9------9----9----9----5-----5-----5----| |-----------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------| |---8--------8-------8--------------------------------| |-----10-------10-------------------------------------| |-10------10------10----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------| |---8------8-----8------7-----7----7---5-----5-----5--| |-----8------8-----------8-----8---------5-----5------| |-9------9-----9------9----9----9----5-----5-----5----| |-----------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------| |----3------3-----3-----------------| |------3------3---------------------| |--4-----4-------4------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| C but watch out now F its full of glass Am don't take the chance F youll surely pass C F at least someday we'll know G the reason why C why don't we breathe?
