Em                          D 
The sun is gone and the flowers rot 
Em                    D          
Words are spaces between us 
       Em                                               D                       
And I should've been drown in the rivers I've found of token lost 
       Em                                     D 
And I should've been down when you made me insecure 

    C                             Em 
So break me down if it makes you feel right 
     C                            Em 
And hate me now if it keeps you alright 
         C                        Em 
You can break me down if it takes all your might 
           A        C                  Em 
'Cause I'm so much more than meets the eye 

Em                          D 
And I'm the one you can never trust 
Em                             D 
'Cause wounds are ways to reveal us 
             Em                                     D      
And yeah I could have tried and devoted my life to both of us 
            Em                                         D   
But what a waste of my time when the world we have is yours 

     C                            Em 
So break me down if it makes you feel right 
     C                           Em 
And hate me now if it keeps you alright 
         C                        Em 
You can break me down if it takes all your might 
           A        C                    Em 
'Cause I'm so much more than all your lies 


 C Em C Em A 

  C                   Em 
Hate me, break me down 
             C   Em 
So break me down 
     C                            Em 
So break me down if it makes you feel right 
     C                            Em 
And hate me now if it keeps you alright 
          C                        Em 
You can break me down if it takes all your might 
           A        C 
'Cause I'm so much more than meets the eye
