[Verse 1]
G
We've been friends for such a long time
C                         G
My head has a mind of its own
G
I don't wanna wait in no line
C                    G
All I wanna do is go home

[Pre-Chorus 1]
C
Something's goin' on inside me
A#                      D
I won't let it tear me apart

[Chorus]
    G           C            D
You got to breakdown to breakthrough
G               F            C     D
Growing up took someone like you
   G             C              D
Forget about the things in your head
     G                F         C     A#  A  G
It's time you put the puppet to bed

[Verse 2]
      G
Don't tell me Rome was built in a day (no way)
       C                         G
You've got to leave before you arrive
          G
If you're willing to give it away
C                       G
It's the only way to survive

[Pre-Chorus 2]
C
Never up is never in
    A#                         D
You got to lose before you can win

[Chorus]
    G           C            D
You got to breakdown to breakthrough
G               F            C     D
Growing up took someone like you
   G             C              D
Forget about the things in your head
     G                F         C     A#  G  A
It's time you put the puppet to bed, yeah

[Bridge]

You've got to love your neighbor
A
Even when the chips are down

[Pre-Chorus 3]
C
Cut the strings and let me go
A#                    D
Now this is a one man show

[Chorus]
    G           C            D
You got to breakdown to breakthrough
G               F            C     D
Growing up took someone like you
   G             C              D
Forget about the things in your head

It's time you put the puppet to bed

[Chorus]
    G           C            D
You got to breakdown to break through
G               F            C     D

Forget about the things in your head
     G                F         C     A#  A  G
It's time you put the puppet to bed
