Intro: Am G (4x)  

F          C          Em7            Am  
Give & you give & you give till its gone                    
         F          C             G            Am  
Then the people you fight hardest for say your wrong  
       F        C            Em7     Am  
Before me flash all of my memories & days  
         F          C           G         Am  
So dont stand insincere at the side of my grave  


              F  
I will not be broken  
           C      Em7  
I wonÂ’t be turned away  
          F                      Em7  
When its to cold to breathe & to dark to pray  
              Am-G (4x)  
I will not be broken  


  F     C         Em7         Am  
I go to far then I go further still  
                
     F             C             G             Am  
Time starts to collapse leaves a void none can fill  
                   
       F               C       Em7              Am  
Nothing you can say to hurt me with your forked tongue  
  F           C            G              Am  
Through blood shot eyes I watch the world come undone  

              F  
I will not be broken  
           C      Em7  
I wonÂ’t be turned away  
          F                       C      G  
When its to cold to breathe & to dark to pray  
          F                    C           Em7  
I come to far to give up or to be turned around  
             F  
I will not be broken  
      G       Am-G (4X)  
I will not go down
