{Verse 1]
FYou know I Bbnever been too good at maCmth
I use my fingers to Bbcount (She use her fCmingers to coEbunt)
But the resBbult of our equation
Isn't too Cmhard to figure oBbut (It don't take a Cmgenius)
I gave you Dm7seven good years
N.C.
To make up for seven bad
I'd say   EbI Cmpaid off
Any debt FI might've had
[Chorus 1]
A little loBbst
N.C.
A little gained
N.C.
In the end
FWe've broken eBbven
[Verse 2]
N.C.
Every night when I'm on my way home
   CmI wonder what I'm gonna fiBbnd (when she walks through the door)Cm  
You're either Bbburnin' or freezin' me out
You're mCmade of fire and BbiceCm  
I Dm7know I've done wrong
N.C.
But you matched me with one
BbSo I Ebam absolved, I am frF7ee, I am done
[Chorus 2]
Up and Bbdown
N.C.
Back and forth
No more keeping F7score
We've broken eBbven
  CSee I was wD7aiting
N.C.
Til' something better came along
To Gmgive me a good reason for leaving
I was D7wasting precious time
And sacrificing Gmhappiness
(Yes she was)
[Bridge 1]
But true lDove doesn't punD7ish
And it Gmdoes not possC7ess
And leaCmving you has sure been Dmworth the price
EbWorth the price of lonelinFess
[Verse 3]
Now I was Bbtrapped like a prisonerCm  
Who had no lock on her cBbell
(She had no lock on her Cmcell, FYEA)
But now I'm Bbspringing the joint and
I'm Cmno longer under Bbyour spellCm  
[Bridge 2]
Dm7Your wrong plus mine have come out alright
So I Ebhave no Cm7shame when I lay dFown at night
You don't owe aBbpologies
You don't owe a thBb7ing to mF7e
We've broken evBbenCm  
[Chorus 3]
Up and Ebdown
DmBack and forth
No more Cm7keeping Fscore we've
Broken eBbvenCm  
A little Eblost
A Dmlittle gained
In the Fend we've
Broken eBbven
