[Intro]
Am G F
Am G F
[Verse 1]
Am
I've lost a part of me
G F Am
'Cause I am just an open book for everyone to see
G F
I always leave empty handed; I can't keep the things that mean the most to me
Am G F
I'm walking steady on a tightrope, clinging only to the words that I wrote
Am G F
I might be temporarily blind but I'm not stupid
[Chorus]
Am F C G Am
Can you tell me how you feel and look me in the face? (I've always wanted to know)
F C G
I'll go and drop my guard, you put me in my place. (In my place, put in my place)
F G Am
I can't stand it. I don't get it
C F
Nothing ever seems to work when you're around
G Am
You always build me up to break me down
[Verse 2]
G F Am
I'd give you everything but that would never be good enough and that's alright with me
G F Am
You take me for granted. I tried to help you be who you wanna be
G
I'm a sucker for a complication
F Am
Here goes another week it must seem
G
You weren't worth my time, you weren't worth my time
F
I still let you take it from me
[Chorus]
Am F C G Am
Can you tell me how you feel and look me in the face? (I've always wanted to know)
F C G
I'll go and drop my guard, you put me in my place. (In my place, put in my place)
F G Am
I can't stand it. I don't get it
C F
Nothing ever seems to work when you're around
G Am
You always build me up to break me down
[Instrumental]
F Am
F Am
[Bridge]
F
Why do I always do this to myself?
Am
Always depending on everyone else
F
You know it's going to drive me crazy
Am
You're just a notch in the wall that made me
F
Why do I always do this to myself?
Am
Always depending on everyone else
F
You know it's going to drive me crazy
Am
You're just a notch in the wall that made me
F
(You're just a notch in the wall that made me)
[Chorus]
Am F C G Am
Can you tell me how you feel and look me in the face? (I've always wanted to know)
F C G
I'll go and drop my guard, you put me in my place. (In my place, put in my place)
F G Am
I can't stand it. I don't get it
C F
Nothing ever seems to work when you're around
G F
You always build me up to break me down
G
You always build me up to break me down
F G
I said you'll always build me up to break me down
[Outro]
Am
You break me down!
You break me down!
Am
We never met on middle ground!
You break me...
