Intro: Gm Bb Dm F 

Gm                    Bb 
Head under water  
                 Dm                             F 
And you tell me To breathe easy for awhile  
Gm                            Bb                  Dm          F 
The breathing gets harder Even I know that  
Gm                           Bb                            Dm              F 
Made room for me  It's too soon to see  If I'm happy in your hands  
Gm                   Bb                      Dm      F 
I'm unusually hard to hold on to   
Gm                     F7M/A          Bb                      C 
Blank stares at blank pages  No easy way to say this  
Gm                   F7M/A                        Bb 
You mean well but you make this hard on me
