Standard (EADGBE)

Now I know I can handle this

I'll close my mouth and clench my fist

I've lived this day in a thousand ways

But there's a flaw to add to my list

Go on squeeze a little more

If you scream I'll just ignore you

I've rehearsed this scene in a million dreams

You're getting closer to my core

Pre-chorus

I'm so damn frustrated

Losing breath and now I'm shaking

Gotta keep myself from breaking down

Someone get me out

Chorus

Chorus

Tear don't you fall

Eyes don't you cry

Need to get me round this corner

I can't break down, break down

Pride don't cave in

Head don't let go

While I'm open and you can read me

I can't break down, break down

I've locked it out for long enough

Got really good at playing rough now

I've been prepared

And not really cared

For being brave is getting tough

Chin now don't you quiver

Hands don't start to shiver

Gotta keep myself from breaking down

Someone get me out, someone let me out

You smile like the cat that's got the cream

I'm vulnerable and I know you see me

There's so much I wanna say

But this lump in my throat makes me walk away

Away, Away

Tear don't you fall

Eyes don't you cry

Pride don't cave in

Head don't let go

Chorus

Break down, I can't break down
