Chord/Tab song: Before It Breaks

Capo on the 4th Fret



Intro: Am - C - F - C - Am - C - F (single strum) - Fmaj7 (single strum)


(Verse 1)
[Am]Around h[C]ere, it's the ha[F]rdest time of ye[C]ar
[F]Waking up, the d[C]ays are even g[Fmaj7]one
The co[Am]llar of my c[C]oat
Lord help me, c[F]annot help the c[C]old
The rai[F]ndrops sting my e[C]yes
I keep them clos[Fmaj7]ed.

(Pre-Chorus)
But I'm f[F]eelin' no [C]pain
I'm a little l[G]onely and my q[F]uietes[C]t fr[Fmaj7]iend
Have I the m[C]oonlight? Have I l[G]et you in?
Say it aint s[F]o, say I'm happy a[C]gain

(Chorus 1)
[Am]Say it's ov[G]er, say I'm dr[C]eaming,
Say I'm be[F]tter than you l[Fmaj7]eft me
Say you're so[C]rry, I can t[F]ake it
[Am]Say you'll wa[G]it, say you won[C]'t
Say you l[F]ove me, say you [Fmaj7]don't
I can ma[C]ke my own mist[F]akes
[F]Let it bend before it [C]breaks[F-C-F]

(Verse 2)
[Am]I'm all ri[C]ght. Don't I a[F]lways seem to b[C]e?
Aren't I swi[F]nging on the st[C]ars?
Don't I we[G]ar them on my sleeve?
When you're loo[Am]king for a cross[C]roads,
It ha[G]ppens e[Am]very d[F]ay
And whic[F]hever way you t[C]urn,
I'm gonna' t[G]urn the other [C]way

(Chorus 2/Outro)
[Am]Say it's ov[G]er, say I'm dr[C]eaming,
Say I'm be[F]tter than you l[Fmaj7]eft me
Say you're so[C]rry, I can t[F]ake it
[Am]Say you'll wa[G]it, say you won[C]'t
Say you l[F]ove me, say you [Fmaj7]don't
I can ma[C]ke my own mist[F]akes
L[F]et it bend before it [C]breaks [F-C-]

(single strum)
[F]Let it bend before it [C]breaks

(End on C)
