[Verse 1]
G Em
I was born a bull in a china cabinet
G Em
Drawn to the delicate like it's a magnet
Am Em
Perfume bottle on a mirror tray
G D
Tempered glass on a window pane
Am Em
Timeless face on a pocket watch
D
Time is ticking
[Chorus]
G Em
I leave it all in ruins
G Em
'Cause I don't know what I'm doing
Am Em
I'm hard on things that matter
Am Em
Hold a heart so tight it shatters
Cadd9 D
So I stay away from things that break
[Verse 2]
G Em
Can't make a man a promise With the best of intentions
G Em
Drive two hundred miles on a rundown engine
Am Em
Put a blanket underneath a hollow tree
G D
When the wind blows hard it will fall on me
Am Em
Stick around long and you will see
D
Time is ticking
[Chorus]
G Em
I leave it all in ruins
G Em
'Cause I don't know what I'm doing
Am Em
I'm hard on things that matter
Am Em
Hold a heart so tight it shatters
Cadd9 D
So I stay away from things that break
[Bridge]
Cadd9
Me, I don't ever wanna get too close
G
Or be held responsible
Em
For the pain that you can't see
G D
Somebody once broke me
[Chorus]
G Em
I leave it all in ruins
G Em
'Cause I don't know what I'm doing
Am Em
I'm hard on things that matter
Am Em
Hold a heart so tight it shatters
Cadd9 D
So I stay away from things that break
