D                         G
I know the summer won't change
         Em                        G
All the fires that start can't be saved
          D                    G
Does that apply to you and me too?
              Em                          G
There's some things I've been meaning to say to you
        Em
Like I just want to breathe
     G                D G Em G
Is that so hard to believe?

D                              G
What age would you call your prime?
           Em                  G
We've been at this for a long time
          D                         G
That's a point that I think I could use
         Em               G
I can't make up another drawn-out, vague excuse

I'm trying hard not to lie
Things I'm keeping close on both sides
But is my silence deafening you?
It keeps me up at night, I just need a few

Chorus:
    Em
And I just want to breathe
            G         D
Is that so hard to believe?
               G
Or would you agree with me?
                   Em
And who would you choose to be?
                    G
I think that we'll have
to see before too long now

D
Got you checking in again
I've got a friend I've been talkin' to
And if you knew I've fallen out
You're checking in again
(In love with someone again)
I've got a friend I've been talkin' to
(She's a friend I've been talking to)
And if you knew, I've fallen
(And if she knew, I'm falling)

    Em                             G
And I hope you're happy with the things that you've got
    E/G#                          G
And I'll still remember all the bright parking lots
And I can finally breathe
                     D
Is it so hard to believe it now?
                G
Was I tough to be around?
                   Em
Well maybe you're better now
               G
All because I let you down
                          D
I know there's so much I didn't say
               G
I don't wanna be that way
                    Em
I guess that's the price you pay
                  G
For giving your trust away
                 D
I'm giving mine now
