Em G C D Em C

[Verse]
          Em
From the fire in your words
         Bm
To the dagger in your eye
                C
I just have to lay my body down
                         D
Go and lay my body down
      Em
I pretend to be asleep
       Bm
But I know you hear me cry
                C
I just have to lay my body down
        G              D
Go and lay my body down

[Pre-Chorus]
       G                  D
But if I really want to change
        Em
Then I must admit
      D               C
That I'm the one to blame

[Chorus]
                  Em
If I could break away
         G
Cut the chord
               C
For worse or better
                     D
If I could turn the page
At last and say
   Em       C
Goodbye forever
            D     Em
But on the other side
          G
Of yesterday
             C
Beyond the heartache
              D
What if all I am
Without the pain
    Em    C
Is empty hearted
               Em
I could break away

[Verse]
       Em
Is it true what people say
           Bm
That it's darkest before dawn?
                C
I just have to lay my body down
                        D
Go and lay my body down
     Em
Any hope we might have saved
        Bm
Is too weak to let live on
                C
I just have to lay my body down
        G           D
Go and lay my body down

[Pre-Chorus]
       G                  D
And if I really want to change
        Em              D
Then tonight I'm gonna need
             C
All of my strength

[Chorus]
                  Em
If I could break away
         G
Cut the chord
               C
For worse or better
                     D
If I could turn the page
At last and say
   Em       C
Goodbye forever
            D     Em
But on the other side
          G
Of yesterday
             C
Beyond the heartache
              D
What if all I am
Without the pain
    Em    C
Is empty hearted
                 Bm
I could break away

[Bridge]
Bm                        C
  Oh, anything is better than this
 Bm
I  know
               C
Anything is better

[Chorus](one strum each)
   D              Em
If I could break away
         G
Cut the chord
               C
For worse or better
                     D
If I could turn the page
At last and say
   Em       C
Goodbye forever
(from C full)
    C       D     Em
But on the other side
          G
Of yesterday
             C
Beyond the heartache
              D
What if all I am
Without the pain
    Em    C
Is empty hearted

               Em G C
I could break away
                     D Em C
If I could turn the page
    C        D    Em
But on the other side
          G
Of yesterday
             C
Beyond the heartache
              D
What if all I am
Without the pain
   Em     C
Is empty hearted
                Em
I could break away
