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
