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
