C                                          Am
Stop staring, youre the reason I feel so unhappy
all the time.
Dm                                     C
Look, Ive given you everything I know how.
C
Youre standing on the top of my shoe,
              Am
Youre keeping me from gaining ground, yeah.
Dm                                         C
Look, Im sorry if you feel like I let you down.

Dm                                    C         G
Can you tell me what have I done so wrong to you?
                 Am
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?

Chorus:
             C
I should be loved by you,
        Am
That I know is true.
         Dm                        C
I cant breathe when youre around, no.
             C
I should be held at night,
        Am
That I know is right.
         C                  C#
I cant breathe when youre around.

You're too scared, scared of all of it
I get that feeling I'm talking to the wall
Can you hear me at all?
Look, my world was shaking, my mind was quaking
My heart kept breaking, I threw it against the wall
Can anyone feel me at all?

Can you tell me, what have I done so wrong
To you?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
I've got a feeling you're falling out of love
With me
Tell me, who am I supposed to be?

Chorus:
             C
I should be loved by you
        Am
That I know is true.
         Dm                        C
I cant breathe when youre around, no.
             C
I should be held at night,
        Am
That I know is right.
         Dm                  C#
I cant breathe when youre around.
               C                  B
Yeah, I cant breathe when youre around.
               A#
Look, I cant breathe.

I should be loved by you
That I know is true
I can't breathe when you're around
I should be held
How I should be held
I can't breathe when you're around
No, I can't breathe when you're around
No, I can't breathe.
