[Intro]
Am F Dm Em x2
[Verse 1: John Cooper]
Am F Dm Em
This night, nothing like any other night, can’t take anymore
Am F Dm Em
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
[Verse 2: Lacey Sturm, Jen Ledger, Both]
Am F
This is who I am
Dm Em
You don’t understand, you never even try
Am F
Just when I think you’re listening
Dm Em
Drop defence, you stab and twist the knife
[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper]
F G
These things you say
Am Em F
They don't hold me, I'm not your slave
G Am 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 F
Look out, I’m breaking free
