Maroon 5 - Harder to Breathe

Originally in C#m, I play in Am

Highest note that matters is the 4 (“*mon*ster that lives in a dream”)

Vox on 1 1 1 3 on “how dare you say”

Am	E
How dare you say that my behavior is unacc	eptable

Am	E
So condescending unnecessarily cr	itical

Am	E
I have the tendency of getting very	physical

Am	E
So watch your step cause if I do you’ll need a m	iracle

Am	E
You drain me dry and make me wonder why I’m	even here

Am	E
This double vision I was seeing is fina	lly clear

Am	E
You want to stay but you know very well I	want you gone

Hard stop on “ground”, last chord implied

Am	E
Not fit to fuckin’ tread the ground that I’m	walking on

The third chord here is originally a vii (in the minor key), I prefer the VII

Am	E	G	D
When it gets	cold outside and you	got nobody to lo	ve

Am	E
You’ll understand what I m	ean when I say

	G	D
There’s no	way we’re gonna give u	p

Am	E
And like a little girl c	ries in the face of a

G	D
Monster that lives in her d	reams

Am	E7	Am
Is there anyone out there cause it’s getting	harder and harder to	breathe

Am	E7	Am
Is there anyone out there cause it’s getting	harder and harder to b	reathe

Am	E
What you are doing is screwing things up ins	ide my head

Am	E
You should know better you never listened to a	word I said

Am	E
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a	naked sweat

Hard stop on “do”, last chord implied

Am	E
Hoping somebody someday will do you	like I did

Am	E	G	D
When it gets	cold outside and you	got nobody to lo	ve

Am	E
You’ll understand what I m	ean when I say

	G	D
There’s no	way we’re gonna give u	p

Am	E
And like a little girl c	ries in the face of a

G	D
Monster that lives in her d	reams

Am	E7	Am
Is there anyone out there cause it’s getting	harder and harder to	breathe

Am	E7	Am
Is there anyone out there cause it’s getting	harder and harder to b	reathe

Solo

Bridge, mostly on the i the whole time, with lots of noise, the V is fabricated here

Vox on the 3 more or less the whole time

	Am
When does it k	ill? Does it burn?

Is it painful to learn

	E7
That it’s m	e that has all the control

	Am
Does it	thrill? Does it sting?

When you feel what I bring

	E7
And you w	ish that you had me to hold

Am	E	G	D
When it gets	cold outside and you	got nobody to lo	ve

Am	E
You’ll understand what I m	ean when I say

	G	D
There’s no	way we’re gonna give u	p

Am	E
And like a little girl c	ries in the face of a

G	D
