Am
Deep in the core of a broken one
C
I spy the light of a wounded sun
     F
That keeps you from drowning
C
Keeps you from drowning

Am
Way beneath the weak surface of it all
C
I spy a girl only three foot tall
     F
That keeps me from drowning
Dm                   C            F
She keeps me from drowning in it all

[Chorus]
                 Am
With the will to stay
                       G
And the will to stand still
              Dm         C               F
We break the rules and listen to our own skin
               C                      G 
With a visible scar in a broken sidecar
               Dm         C              F
We break the rules and listen to our own skin
               Dm          C             F
We break our hearts and pretty much everything

[Verse 2]
Am
After the dark and endless wars
C
I realize that I'm fighting a cause
     F
That ends with us drowning
Dm           (C)             F
Ends with us drowning in it all

[Chorus]
                 Am
With the will to stay
                       G
And the will to stand still
Dm                      C                 F
We break the rules and listen to our own skin
               C                      G 
With a visible scar in a broken sidecar
               Dm         C              F
We break the rules and listen to our own skin
               Dm         C              F
We break our hearts and pretty much everything

[Bridge]
Em                                      Dm
With the same old star and the same old sun
C                                      F
Built to keep us both in the same old love
Em                                           Dm
And when the present tense meets the present time
Em                          Dm
Built to keep our worlds in line

[Outro]
             Dm        C                 F
We break the rules and listen to our own skin
             Dm         C                F
We break our hearts and pretty much everything
             Dm        C                 F
We break the rules and listen to our own skin
             Dm         C                F
We break our hearts and pretty much everything
