Breaking Your Own Heart (Kelly Clarkson)
Album: Stronger
2011

Here are 2 ways to play the song (in my opinion the first one is the best, but the 
second one is easier):


FIRST VERSION:


Standard Tuning
No Capo

Chords (Pay attention to how E, B and A are played. I guess it's possible to play 
"regular" E, B and A, but I think it doesn't sound as good): 

E:   079900
B:   799800
A:   577600
C#m: x46654
F#m: 244222

Intro:    E     B     A   x2


E               B              A
  Shaking your head like it's all wrong
E                B                A
  Before you're here you're already gone
F#m                  B           A
  And even with the light all around you
F#m            B           A
  You're all alone in the dark


                            E
  You're breaking your own heart
                 B                  A
  Taking it too far down a lonely road
                         E
  You say it's just one love
                         B                    A
  But when it's close enough you just let it go
                        F#m             C#m
  The very thing you've been the most afraid of
                A     
  You've been doing it from the start
                      E        B        A
  Breaking your own heart


E           B            A
  Too many tears, too many falls
E               B            A
  It's easy to hear behind these walls
F#m                      B            A
  But you don't have to walk in the shadows
F#m        B   A
  Life is so hard


                    E
  You're breaking your own heart
                 B                 A
  Taking it too far down a lonely road
                         E
  You say it's just one love
                         B                    A
  But when it's close enough you just let it go
                        F#m              C#m
  The very thing you've been the most afraid of
                A     
  You've been doing it from the start
                      E        B        A       E       B       A
  Breaking your own heart
                            E       B       A       E
  You're breaking your own heart

  
E               B               A
  It's not too late, I'm still right here
E          A               A
  If only yBu'd let go of your fears


                            E
  You're breaking your own heart
                    B                  A
  Taking your own heart down a lonely road
                         E
  You say it's just one love
                         B                    A
  But when it's close enough you just let it go
                         F#m            C#m
  The very thing you've been the most afraid of
                A                                          E      B      A
  You've been doing it from the start, breaking your own heart
                             E       B       A       E
  You're breaking your own heart

  
  End on E

I think the first two lines of each verse should start with Bm instead of D in fact I think the full first Chorus is (slightly different in following Choruses.

Bm A G
Bm A G
Em Bm G
D A G

The other choruses end in
Em Bm
D A

Also where the verse goes "the very thing you've been the most afraid of,....doing if from the start" is
Em Bm
D G
