    C             G          D 
 I wish I could break your heart 
    C             G         D 
 I wish I could bring you down

 Be strong enough to pull you under 
            Em            D 
 Throw you back a little thunder 
 C           G         D 
 Even though I never would

 I wish I could break, I wish I could break your heart

 I wish I could turn back time 
      C           G             D              Em 
 Boy I'd lead you on light the fuse, drop the bomb 
          C          G         D 
 Just so I'd be the first to leave

 I wish I could break, I wish I could break your heart
