Intro 
Am G F 
Am G F 
 
verse 1 
     Am 
I've lost a part of me 
         G          F                             Am 
'Cause I am just an open book for everyone to see 
                             G       F 
I always leave empty handed; I can't keep the things that mean the most to me 
Am                               G F 
I'm walking steady on a tightrope, clinging only to the words that I wrote 
  Am                        G               F 
I might be temporarily blind but I'm not stupid 
 
 
Am                      F                        C    G                           Am 
Can you tell me how you feel and look me in the face? (I've always wanted to know) 
                     F                        C                  G 
I'll go and drop my guard, you put me in my place. (In my place, put in my place) 
F                G               Am 
I can't stand it. I don't get it 
                      C                       F 
Nothing ever seems to work when you're around 
                      G                Am 
You always build me up to break me down 
 
verse 2 
                        G                       F                                      Am 
I'd give you everything but that would never be good enough and that's alright with me 
                 G                  F                            Am 
You take me for granted. I tried to help you be who you wanna be 
                   G 
I'm a sucker for a complication 
F                                   Am 
Here goes another week it must seem 
                      G 
You weren't worth my time, you weren't worth my time 
F 
I still let you take it from me 
 
 
Am                      F                        C    G                           Am 
Can you tell me how you feel and look me in the face? (I've always wanted to know) 
                     F                        C                  G 
I'll go and drop my guard, you put me in my place. (In my place, put in my place) 
F                G               Am 
I can't stand it. I don't get it 
                      C                       F 
Nothing ever seems to work when you're around 
                      G                Am 
You always build me up to break me down

I said you'll always build me up to break me down

We never met on middle ground! 
You break me...
