C#maj7
Every night
D#maj7             G#maj7            D#maj7
Think of things I can't do or haven't done
And does it make me weak?
Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe
Is that all you see in me?

Chorus:
Don't you wait for something more
I'll still be sinking to the floor
Oh, you can't help me
Now I'm all alone
Is it my doing? Is it my doing? Mmm

Outside, it's getting colder
Why does it feel like I'm older than I asked to be?
But when you say my name
It all falls away so tenderly

Chorus:
Don't you wait for something more
I'll still be sinking to the floor
Oh, you tried to help me
Why do I feel so cold?
Is it my doing? Is it my doing?

(Ah)
Is it my doing? Is it my doing? (Ah)
Is it my doing? Oh (Ah)
Mmm, is it my doing? (Ah)
Mmm
