D A Bm G
D A Bm G
I want to scream, until no sound comes out and you've learned your lesson
D A Bm
I want to swallow these pills to get to sleep
G
So I don't have to make a bad impression
F#m G F#m
I need to start to be myself
G
Cause I'm sick of everybody else
D Bm
I won't let you bring me down
G F#m G (A)
It's here and now I'm breaking out
D Bm
I will learn to love again
G F#m G D
But I will stand a broken man
D Asus4 A Bm G (A)
I wanna run, but only far enough to make you miss me
D Asus4 A Bm
I wanna take back all the shit that I have done
G A
But I guess you were better off without me
F#m G F#m
I need to start to be myself
G
Cause I'm sick of everybody else
D Bm
I won't let you bring me down
G F#m G (A)
It's here and now I'm breaking out
D Bm
I will learn to love again
G F#m G
But I will stand a broken man
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
D Bm
I won't let you bring me down
G F#m G (A)
It's here and now I'm breaking out
D Bm
I will learn to love again
G F#m G
But I will stand a broken man
D A
I won't let you bring me down
Bm G
It's here and now I'm breaking out
D A
I will learn to love again
Bm F#m G
But I will stand a broken man
(the bridge is repeating in the background,
that's why it's using those chords.)
