Hawthorne Heights - Hard To Breathe

[Intro]
E5

[Verse 1]
E5
I saw the glimmer of a silhouette

The part of me that died had just come back
C5
Empty visions in a parking lot
D5
I spent my whole life lying, I just got caught
E5
Cold and dark by the riverside

I search for answers at night I’ve got nowhere to hide
C5 D
I’ve got bruises beneath these ripped up jeans, I’m tired of this old life

[Chorus]
C5 C5
Where were you when I needed you the most?
D5 E5
When it got dark and I got cold
C5
You were never there when I got home
D5 E5
The streetlights sing just like a curse
C5
You only seem to make things worse
D5 E5
Now it’s getting hard to breathe
C5 D5 E5
The streetlights sing me fast asleep

[Verse 2]
E5
I spent my summers catching fireflies

The part that flickered bright had just now died
C5
My innocence stopped making sense
D5
I’ve got no place left to hide

[Chorus]
C5 C5
Where were you when I needed you the most?
D5 E5
When it got dark and I got cold
C5
You were never there when I got home
D5 E5
The streetlights sing just like a curse
C5
You only seem to make things worse
D5 E5
Now it’s getting hard to breathe
C5 D5 E5
The streetlights sing me fast asleep

[Bridge]
E5 A5
The streetlights sing but the flashlights won’t bring you home
C5 D5
Bring you home
E5 A5
The streetlights sing but the flashlights won’t bring you home
C5 D5
Bring you home

[Outro Chorus]
E5 (ring out)
Where were you when I needed you the most?
C5 D5 E5
When it got dark and I got cold
C5
You were never there when I got home
D5 E5
The streetlights sing just like a curse
C5
You only seem to make things worse
D5 E5
Now it’s getting hard to breathe
C5 D5 E5
The streetlights sing me fast asleep
C5 D5 E5
Now it’s getting hard to breathe
C5 D5 E5
The streetlights sing me fast asleep
C5 (ring out)
The streetlights sing me fast asleep
