Transcribed by Corey Brown At BrownCSA@AOL.com I just taped this from the radio and tried to figure it out. I don^Òt know how correct it is. It sounds o.k. to play, but any additions would be great. I think they are using 2 guitars at some points, so these are just the basic chords I could hear. The chord progressions over the stansas repeat, so I didn't write all the chords out. This is my first time writing a song out on the computer so I hope it's o.k. If you listen to this song, you can hear the changes. Intro - Em7, A7, C9, D2 Em7 A7 I know what you^Òre doing, I see it all too clear C9 D2 I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears You really had me going, wishing on a star The black holes that surround you are heavier by far I believed in your confusion, you^Òre so completely torn It must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born Not much to examine, not enough to hide You really can^Òt be serious to have to ask me why F I say goodbye CH: C9 G Cause I am barely breathing, I can^Òt find the air Asus7 F Don^Òt know who I^Òm kidding, imagining you care C9 G And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day Asus7 F I Don^Òt suppose it^Òs worth the price, it^Òs worth the price, the price that I would pay And everyone keeps asking what^Òs it all about I used to be so certain, now I can^Òt figure out What is this attraction, it^Òs only filled by pain And nothing left to reason, and only you to blame Will it ever change? CH: C9 G Asus7 F But I^Òm thinking it over anyway C9 G Asus7 F I^Òm thinking it over anyway Ah D Am Come to find, I may never know G F A changing mind is a friend or foe I^Òll rise above, I^Òll sink below But everytime you come and go F Em Please don^Òt come and go CH: Addition F I know what you^Òre doing Em G I see it all too clear TAB Em7 A7 C9 D2 G Asus7 E----0--------x-------x------x------3----x A----2 -------0------3------x------2----0 D----0--------2------2------0-----0----2 G----0--------0------0------2-----0----0 B----3--------2------3------3------3----3 E----0--------0------0------0------3----3 From fenster@a2z.net Mon May 12 14:12:59 1997 Date: Tue, 29 Apr 1997 23:40:17 -0700 From: fenster To: guitar@olga.net Cc: fenster@a2z.net Subject: TAB: Barely Breathing by Duncan Shiek This is my first contribution to OLGA, but hopefully not the last. I'll try to keep this simple, because, well it's a pretty simple song. Intro: Em7 A C(add9) D Em7 The same chords are played throughout the verses: Well I know what you're doing, I see it all to clear I only taste the saline, when I kiss away your tears You really had me going, wishing on a star The blackholes that surround you, are heavier by far I believed in your confusion, so completely torn It must have been that yesterday, was the day that I was born There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide You really can't be serious, you have to ask me why Fmaj9 I will say goodbye Chorus: Cadd9 Cause I am barely breathing Gadd9 and I can't find the air Am7 Don't know who I'm kidding Fadd9 Imagining you care (Repeat) And I could stand here waiting Ooo, for another day I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price The price that I would payyyy Gadd9 Am7 But I'm thinking it over, anyway ***Listen to the song for the rest of the lyrics...he sings pretty clear...if anyone wants to add lyrics or if they disagree w/ the chords please feel free to let me know.
