Breakdown
[INTRO]
Dsus2
[VERSE ONE]
Cadd9
How could I stay
G/B
How could I breathe
G Dsus2
There had to be more for me
Cadd9
Promises gone
G/B
Plastic and stone
G Dsus2
I''m doing fine all alone
[CHORUS]
G D
So you''re having a breakdown
G D
So you''re losing the fight
G D
So you''re having a breakdown
Em D/F#
And I''m driving and crying Unraveled and flying
G Asus4 D Dsus2
I''m coming to your breakdown tonight
[VERSE TWO]
Cadd9
I cannot run
G/B
I cannot hide
G Dsus2
It came with me locked inside
Cadd9
The bough will break
G/B
Cradle will fall
G Dsus2
It only takes one call
[CHORUS]
G D
So you''re having a breakdown
G D
So you''re losing the fight

Salt air and yellow street lights
G D
So you''re having a breakdown
Em D/F#
And I''m driving and crying unraveled and flying
G Asus4 D Dsus2
I''m coming to your breakdown tonight

version 2
The first 3 verse chords are essentially arpeggiating a Dsus2 and walking the bass note
down from open D, C, B, and finally a G6 chord. Sounds best fingerpicked. Fancy
chord names for an easy fingering.
