Break Me Down chords by Alter Bridge

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

It's too late
   A    E
The time has come
 B        F#    E    C#m
I kept this inside me for way too long
       A     E
Silence will leave me cold
B     F#
Lost on a highway
          C#m
That never takes me home

Chorus:
A      E
I wanna step aside
        C#m         B
I wanna give it up, before I lose it all
   A      E
It's tearing me inside
        C#m
The way you break me down

A           E
Well there will come a time
           C#m           B
When I will come undone, and you will let me fall
A         E
I'll leave it all behind
          C#
Before you break me down


Verse 2:
 C#m       A    E
The weight of a thousand lies
  B     F#
And promises broken
        C#
Haunt me all the time
          A    E
You say that you're sure to change
     F#
But that black heart reveals that
  C#            C#m
You'll always stay the same (Always stay the same)


Chorus:
A       E
I wanna step aside
        C#m
I wanna give it up, before I lose it all
          E
It's tearing me inside
           C#m
The way you break me down

A           E
Well there will come a time
         C#m             B
When I will come undone, and you will let me fall
A         E
I'll leave it all behind
          C#m
Before you break me down


Bridge:
     E
And I've realized
   B     C#
Forgiveness is calling

And it's calling
    E    B
And I deny the reason
 C#
I'm falling

Yeah I'm falling
    E   B  C#m
So let go


Chorus:
A      E
I wanna step aside
        C#m         B
I wanna give it up, before I lose it all
B
It's tearing me inside
           C#m
The way you break me down
A           E
But there will come a time
         C#m             B
When I will come undone, and you will let me fall
B         E
I'll leave it all behind
         C#m   A C#m B A E C#m
Before you break me down
