B.o.B – So Hard To Breathe (Ukulele)

F                    Am
Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa pa

F                     G
Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa

F
Since day 1 I said f-ck the fame and everything it dealt

Am
But the fame is really here just to facilitate the wealth

F
But the wealth attracts you haters like you mosquitoes to a well

C
And the waters getting deeper so I’m well set out to sail

F
Someone called my cell and left a voicemail

Am
That said congratulations on the million record sales

F
As I’m flipping over furniture knocking sh-t off the shelf

G
I told myself I’ll never get too deep not to take a breathe

F            G                Am
And it’s so hard to breathe, yeah

F            G                Am
And even more so to sleep when no one cares

F            G                Am
It was all I can eat

F                                  G              Am
But now I’m sinking, so deep, I can’t come up for air

F                    Am
Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa pa

F                    G
Pa pa pa pa, pa la pa

F
Yeah I’ve seen the valley 

Am
Of the shadow of death, I’ve seen the mountains

F
The wild childhood, Thats why I sing about it

C
I just try to move on and keep my peace about it

F
But Come to think about it I can’t even count the days

Am
That I’ve spent, starving tryna find some decent housing

F
That’s why I’m always smiling but on this beat I seem so violent

G
So ask me ’bout the music scene and what the f-ck I think about it

F
Time flies, I guess thats why I’m bugging

Am
Just yesterday I was rapping with my brother and my cousin

F
If you had the stove or toaster on you couldn’t use the oven

C
We knew that we were struggling, we just acted like we wasn’t

F
It’s either make it rapping, if not that than hustlin’

Am
So all I see is magazine covers in this game

F
You either surface or you plummet

G
It’s a thin line and I’m just tryna keep my head above it

F            G                Am
And it’s so hard to breathe, yeah

F            G                Am
And even more so to sleep when no one cares

F            G                Am
It was all I can eat

F                                  G              Am                              F
