Break Me Down

[Intro]
                   C
You won't break me down
 
I'm not afraid to try and
 
Feel something that's real
 
I'm not ashamed,
                     C  Eb
You won't break me down

[Verse 1]
 C
The last two years of my life
       Eb
Are so filled with regret
       Ab
Try to fool myself,
         F
But I'll never forget
    C
The time I've lost,
    E
The pain I've found
    Ab
But when it's time to fight,
F                       C             Eb
  You need to stand your ground Smoke in
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
my lungs
Ab                  F                G
   There's a fire in  my heart Fire in
   C
my heart And when it's all
    Eb
Said and done
Ab                F
   You won't break me
                    C
You won't break me down

    Ebsus2      Absus2
I'm not   afraid      to try and
    Fsus2                     C
Feel     something that's real
      Ebsus2
I'm not   ashamed,
Absus2          Fsus2
      You won't break me
C           Ebsus2
When all hope      is gone,
Absus2                 Fsus2
      I'm stronger than
              C
I've been before
      Ebsus2
I'm not   afraid,
Absus2          Fsus2    C
      You won't break me down
Yeah
 
 
[Verse 2]
        C
All the drugs and the fame
      Eb
Don't matter at all
   Ab
So I  swim in the bottle that
F
Makes me feel small
   C
To drown out my demons,
  Eb
I still hear them call
Ab
On and on and on,
F                         C
  My backs against the wall
Eb
I'm just being honest
Ab          F                  G
   I'm trying  my best I'm trying
   C
my best And when it's all
Eb
Said and done
Ab                F
   You won't break me
                     C
You won't break me down

      Ebsus2      Absus2
I'm not   afraid      to try and
    Fsus2                     C
Feel     something that's real
      Ebsus2
I'm not   ashamed,
Absus2          Fsus2
      You won't break me
C           Ebsus2
When all hope      is gone,
Absus2                 Fsus2
      I'm stronger than
              C
I've been before
      Ebsus2
I'm not   afraid,
Absus2          Fsus2    C
      You won't break me down
 
 
[Bridge]
N.C.
Down
 
The smoke in my lungs
 
There's a fire in my heart
N.C.
And when it's all said and done
 
You won't break me,
                   C
you won't break me down

C       Ebsus2
When all hope  is gone,
Absus2         Fsus2
      I'm stronger  than
              C
I've been before
Ebsus2
I'm not afraid,

      You won't     break me down
