Intro:
Am F Dm Em x2

Verse 1: John Cooper:
Am             F          Em
This night, nothing like any other night, can’t take anymore
Am            F                Dm                  C
You say I’ll never be nothing, cause us suffering, something to ignore

Pre-Chorus: John Cooper:
F              G
These things you say
Am           Em              F
You make me weak but I have changed
               G             Em     F
No way, I am stronger than before

Chorus: John Cooper and Jen Ledger:
       Am        F            C        G
I will break, breaking free, coming alive
    F                 Dm       Am         G       Am
I broke these chains, never be afraid to live my life (never be afraid to live my life)
Am      F              C          G
Break, breaking free, one last time
   F                     Am            G
No matter what they say, I will never change
   Am                    F      G     F
And I know I can break (break) break (break)
F              G       Am
Look out, I’m breaking free

Am F Dm Em

Drop defence, you stab and twist the knife
