Am G         C     F 
      i got mixed emotions 
                   Am   G                        C        F 
Did i finally find me a river that could lead me out to the ocean? 
                       Am   G 
Cause i've only ever known the kind of love 
                C          F 
That leaves you bodied and broken 
                  Am G     C  F               Am G C F 
So forgive me for my mixed emotions, yeah yeah 
 
I'm not that kind of person who can 
       Am   G       C        F 
Fall in and out of love with you 
                                     Am G C F 
That's not what love's supposed to do

Am     G    C  F 
Baby, don't go breaking my heart, breaking my heart

Cause i told you everything i have to say 
               C       F 
And now we're having a moment 
                        Am              G 
Does it make you wanna pick up all your things 
          C             F 
And drive away like it's stolen? 
                  Am   G     C   F

           Am G         C  F

Fall in and out of love with you 
                                     Am G C F 
That's not what love's supposed to do 
 
I'm not that kind of person who can

    Dm 
But now i'm all in 'cause of you 
   Am                               F 
So if you're gonna love me, love me right, yeah

That hurts somebody just for fun 
     Am 
Then do it to a heart that isn't mine

  Cause it's the only one i got 
Am     G    C  F 
Baby, don't go breaking my heart, breaking my heart 
Am     G    C  F 
Baby, don't go breaking my heart, breaking my heart 
Am      G             C     F
