[Intro]
Bm G6 G6/A Bmadd6/A G Gsus4#
[Verse]
Bm
The feeling of falling
G6
is still so familiar
G6/A Bmadd6/A
The pain in my stomach
G Gsus4#
is better, but baby
Bm
Bright colours
G6
have faded too early this year
G C F#7 F#7/C#
And strangers look stranger 'round here
[Verse]
Bm
The flowers you've left here
G6
have died in the heat
G6/A Bmadd6/A
I see parts of your face now,
G Gsus4#
and girls in the street
Bm
I hope you like your new neighbors
G6
Don't sleep with too many strangers
G C F#7
It's lonely, but only at night
[Chorus]

Most of the time I'm breathing fine
C#m5b7 Dmaj7 G7
I stay at familiar places
F#7 Em Dmaj7 Abm5b7
I talk to myself in empty spaces

most of the time
[Verse]
Bm
It's half of me, baby
G6
that still is infected
G6/A Bmadd6/A
No water has cleansed it
G Gsus4#
No sleep has erased it
Bm
Towards and aways from
G6
This room is a cage
Dmaj7
And things I'm trying to write you
F#7
they die on the page
[Chorus]
G/A# Bm G D
But most of the time I'm breathing fine
F#7 Bm G/A# D
Most of the time I'm breathing fine
C#m5b7 Dmaj7 G7
I play through the great composers
F#7 Em
I get through the night
Dmaj7 Abm5b7
And while in prose and
G/A# Abm5b7
Breathing is fine,
Em F#7
