Break Your Heart
-Barenaked Ladies
G D
The bravest thing I’ve ever done
Am7 D
Was to run away and hide
G D C D
But not this time, not this time
G D
And the weakest thing I’ve ever done
Am7 D
Was to stay right by your side
G D C D
Just like this time and every time
Am C D
I couldn’t tell you I was happy you were gone
C D C D
So I lied and said that I missed you when we were apart
Am C D
I couldn’t tell you so I had to lead you on
G D G D C D
But I didn’t mean to break your heart.
G D
And if I always seemed distracted,
Am7 D
Like my mind is somewhere else
G D C D
That’s because it’s true, yes it’s true
G D
It’s the stupid pride that makes me feel
Am7 D
Like I have to follow through
G D C D
Even half-assedly, loving you
Am D C D
Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice?
Am7
When I guess I should have just come out and told
D
You right from the start
Am D C D
Why must I always tell you all I want is this?
C D G D Am7 D
I guess cause I didn’t want to break your heart.
D
And you said
Am
What’d you think I that I was gonna do?
Am
Curl up and die just because of you?
D
I’m not that weak, you know
Am
What’d you think that I was gonna do?
Am
Try to make you love me as much as I love you?
D
How could you be so low?
G D C D
You arrogant man,
Em D C D
What do you think that I am?
Am D
My heart will be fine
Am D
Just stop wasting my time
G D
And now I know that you will be okay
Am7 D
And that I got what I want
G D
And that’s rid of you
C D
Good-bye
G D
And its not cause I’ll be missing you
Am7 D
That makes me fall apart
G D
It’s just that I didn’t mean to break
Am7 D
No, I didn’t mean to break
C D
No, I didn’t mean to break
G D C D
Your heart
G D C D
Your heart
