"Before It Breaks"
Kapo 1 [:

Am      F               C               G
Around here, it's the hardest time of year
F               C             F
Waking up, the days are even gone
      Am          F
The collar of my coat
               C               G
Lord help me, cannot help the cold
       F                C
The raindrops sting my eyes
                G
I keep them closed.

F         C
But I'm feelin' no pain
              G             F        Am
I'm a little lonely and my quietest friend
            C                 G
Have I the moonlight? Have I let you in?
             F                 C
Say it aint so, say I'm happy again

F         C             G
Say it's over, say I'm dreaming,
          Am              F
Say I'm better than you left me
             C           G
Say you're sorry, I can take it
F           C              G
Say you'll wait, say you won't
         Am               F
Say you love me, say you don't
        C              Am
I can make my own mistakes
 C         Am           F
Let it bend before it breaks

Am        F             C              G
I'm all right. Don't I always seem to be?
            F              C
Aren't I swinging on the stars?
          G
Don't I wear them on my sleeve?
               Am              F
When you're looking for a crossroads,

C          G
It happens every day
         F              C
And whichever way you turn,
            G
I'm gonna' turn the other way

F         C             G
Say it's over, say I'm dreaming,
          Am              F
Say I'm better than you left me
             C           G
Say you're sorry, I can take it
F           C              G
Say you'll wait, say you won't
         Am               F
Say you love me, say you don't
        C              Am
I can make my own mistakes
 C         Am           F
Let it bend before it breaks
 C         Am           F
Let it bend before it breaks
