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
