Hey. :) This is my first tab. I'm doing this COMPLETELY by ear, so sorry if its
wrong, but it sounds alright to me. The other tabs are different than mine because they
don't use the Bm as much/in the right places, or whatever. But this sounds alright to
me. If I made a mistake, please tell me. :)
Anyway, here goes nothing!!
For the intro, you want to strum D three times, and A five times (for each time it says
to play the chords). Then, when you get the G, strum on that eight times, and then
strum A eight times.
Intro:
D A D A G A
Verse 1:
D
Harness your heart and be still now
A
Quiet that mind that will wonder
Bm A
All sorts of dark alleys
D
Tragedy strikes your self esteem
A
Constantly waiting for an ending
Bm A
To all of this
Pre-chorus:
(* means strum once)
Bm*
She opens her eyes
A*
Suddenly she cries
D
Can we help her?
(D)
Can we help her?
A*
And she replies:
Chorus:
D
You know
A
I fake it oh so well
Bm
That God himself can't tell
A
What I mean and why my words are less than
D A
Parallel with my feet
Bm
You ask me what I need
A
And all I really need
D
Is to breathe
D
Ohhhh
A
Ahhhh

Verse 2:
D
People they seem so interested
A
Only a few get infested
Bm A
With all the aches and pains
D
Doctor, oh doctor please help her
A
I fear she may not be breathing
Bm
Blue lips and doe eyes
A
That's her disguise
Chorus:
D
You know
A
I fake it oh so well
Bm
That God himself can't tell
A
What I mean and why my words are less than
D A
Parallel with my feet
Bm
You ask me what I need
A
And all I really need
D
Is to breathe
Bridge:
D
Oh oh oh
A
Oh oh oh
Bm
Oh oh oh
A
Oh oh oh
D*
Give me some space to breathe
A*
I need a little room to breathe
A*
Give me some space to breathe
Bm D*
All I need is a little room to breathe
A
I fake it oh so well
Bm
That God can't tell
Chorus:
D
You know
A
I fake it oh so well
Bm
That God himself can't tell
A
What I mean and why my words are less than
D A
Parallel with my feet
Bm
You ask me what I need
A
And all I really need
D*
Is to breathe
Let me
Breathe
If you want to, just pluck the D string right before the last word (which is breathe).
It makes a kinda cool effect. :)
