Standard (EADGBE)

Harness your heart, and be still now

Quiet that mind that will wander

All sorts of dark alleys

Tragedy strikes your self esteem

Constantly waiting for an ending

To all of this

She opens her eyes

Suddenly she cries

Can we help her, can we help her?

And she replies:

You know, I fake it oh so well

 That God himself can’t tell

 What I mean and why my words are less than parallel

 With my feet

 You ask me what I need

 And all I really need

 Is to breathe

People, they seem so interested

Only a few get invested

With all the aches and pains

Doctor oh doctor, please help her

I fear she may not be breathing

Blue lips, and doe eyes

That’s her disguise.

You know, I fake it oh so well

 That God himself can’t tell

 What I mean and why my words are less than parallel

 With my feet

 You ask me what I need

 And all I really need

 Is to breathe

Oooooh

Ooooh, oh

Oooooh

Oooooh

(Oooooh)

Give me some space to breathe

(Ooooh, oh)

I need a little room to breathe

Give me some space to breathe

All I need is a little room to breathe.

(Ooooh)

I fake it oh so well

That God can’t tell

You know, I fake it oh so well

 That God himself can’t tell

 What I mean and why my words are less than parallel

 With my feet

 You ask me what I need

 And all I really need

 Is to breathe

 Let me breathe
