Bridge: x3
D I took one big step and I looked away A And then I thought of all the things that I wanted to say Bm I'm always too late, you never got your story straight G I'm always up late, I think I'm everything you hate
DBm I won't let you bring me down GF#mG (A) It's here and now I'm breaking out DBm I will learn to love again GF#mG But I will stand a broken man
DA I won't let you bring me down BmG It's here and now I'm breaking out DA I will learn to love again BmF#mG But I will stand a broken man
(the bridge is repeating in the background, that's why it's using those chords.)
