VERSE 

      D 
if i thought it would help i would drive this car into the sea 


if the fire and smoke and explosions could speak for me 

                             A                  Bm                      A 
if the words that i used to try to explain how something inside of me started to break 

         G             A 
ah, but one by one my words just got in the way 


D   A  G   A 


 G                     A                 D 
how many nights did i crash against the waves with my head going under 

 G                   A                          D  
how many days did i spend trying to see it your way, if you try you remember 

   Bm                      A               G                           A              Bm 
i changed and changed and kept on saying "one of these days something inside's gonna break" 

        A                      G      A 
and we won't get it back now, baby (something's gonna break) 



Chorus 

      Bm                            A                      G      A 
if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart 

          Bm                            A                      G      A 
and if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart 

 D                        A                    Bm                     A 
all of the things that i tried to explain how something inside of me started to break 

         G                    A              D    A    G 
we were living proof, one by one we drifted away 

        A                   D    A    G    A 
one by one we drifted away

G                           A                             D 
time after time there were things that would scare me to tears, while you called me haunted 

G                   A             D 
i paced around the bed where you laid 

                          G           A 
one of these days, baby, something… (something's gonna break)

and if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart

   G                      A                D 
i became the dark in the places where you live
