D  A  G  A
DHarness your heart, and be still now
AQuiet that mind that will wander
GAll sorts of Adark alleys
DTragedy strikes your self esteem
AConstantly waiting for an ending
GTo all of Athis
EmShe opens her eyes
ASuddenly she cries
GCan we help her, can we help her?
GAnd she replies:
DYou know, I fake it oh so Awell
That God himself can’t Emtell
What I mean and why my Gwords are less than Dparallel
With my Afeet
You ask me what I Emneed
And all I really Gneed
Is to Dbreathe
OooAohh
GAhhaaAh
DPeople, they seem so interested
AOnly a few get invested
GWith all the Aaches and pains
DDoctor oh doctor, please help her
AI fear she may not be breathing
GBlue lips, and doe eyes
AThat’s her disguise.
DYou know, I fake it oh so Awell
That God himself can’t Emtell
What I mean and why my Gwords are less than Dparallel
With my Afeet
You ask me what I Emneed
And all I really Gneed
Is to Dbreathe
DOooooh
AOoooh, oh
GOooooh
AOooooh
D(Oooooh)
Give me some space to breathe
A(Ooooh, oh)
I need a little room to breathe
GGive me some space to breathe
AAll I need is a little room to Bmbreathe.
(Ooooh)
DI fake it oh so Awell
GThat God can’t tell
DYou know, I fake it oh so Awell
That God himself can’t Emtell
What I mean and why my Gwords are less than Dparallel
With my Afeet
You ask me what I Emneed
And all I really Gneed
Is to Dbreathe
Let me Dbreathe
