Tear don't you fall
EGyes don't you cryDmaj  
NeAmed to get me round this cornerC  
I canG't break down, break downDmaj  
PriFmaj7de don't cave inC  
Head Gdon't let goDmaj  
WhiAmle I'm open and you can read meC  
I can't break doGwn, break downDmaj  
I've locked it out for long enough
Got really good at playing rough now
I've been prepared
And not really cared
For being brave is getting tough
Chin now don't you quiver
Hands don't start to shiver
Gotta keep myself from breaking down
Someone get me out, someone let me out
You smile like the cat that's got the cream
I'm vulnerable and I know you see me
There's so much I wanna say
But this lump in my throat makes me walk away
Away, Away
Tear don't you fall
Eyes don't you cry
Pride don't cave in
Head don't let go
Chorus 
Break down, I can't break down
