[Verse]

Em G/B C2
Never thought that we would end up here,
Em G/B C2
Should've known it from the start
Em G/B C2
I know you mean it when you say you love me,
Em G/B C2
But we're trying way too hard
Em G/B C2
Used to think that we would last forever,
Em G/B C2
How could I've been so wrong
Em G/B C2
Never thought I'd be the one to say this,
Em G/B C2
But if our time has come I'm gone

[Chorus]

G A
You, you don't mean no harm
C
But you’re stringing me along and
Cm G
I don't have the time to spare
A
And I, I’m trying hard to breath
C
But you’re suffocating me
Cm G
This time I’m coming up for air
Em G/B C Em G/B C2
Air Air Air Air Air Air A-A-Air Air Air Air Air

[Verse]

Em G/B C2
Always try’na put your two cents in
Em G/B C2
Then expecting me to change
Em G/B C2
Tried to fix me up but I'm not broken,
Em G/B C2
All you do is leave me stained
Em G/B C2
Told you not to tie me down too quickly,
Em G/B C2
Take it slow it's not a race
Em G/B C2
And you keep on tryna reel me in,
Em G/B
But all I really need is space

[Chorus]

G A
You, you don't mean no harm
C
But you’re stringing me along and
Cm G
I don't have the time to spare
A
And I, I’m trying hard to breath
C
But you’re suffocating me
Cm G
This time I’m coming up for air
