Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:

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

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

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


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

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

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


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

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

Yeah I'm falling
    E MajorE   BB  C# minorC#m
So let go


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