I Can't Break Down

Now I k[Dm]now I can handle this    [Am]
I'll close my mouth and c[E]lench my fist                   [F]
I've lived [Dm]this day in a thousand ways  [Am]
But there's a flaw to a[E]dd to my list               [D]
Go on squeez[Dm]e a little more         [Am]
If you scream I'[E]ll just ignore you             [F]
I've rehearsed t[Dm]his scene in a million dreams      [Am]
You're getting closer to m[E]y core               [D]

I'm so damn fru[Dm]strated
Losin[F]g breath and now I'm shaking
Got[C]ta keep myself from breaking down                    [G]
Someone get me out[E]

 [Fmaj7]             Chorus
Tear don't you fall
E[G]yes don't you cry  [D]
Ne[Am]ed to get me round this corner            [C]
I can[G]'t break down, break down     [D]
Pri[Fmaj7]de don't cave in  [C]
Head[G] don't let go      [D]
Whi[Am]le I'm open and you can read me             [C]
I can't break do[G]wn, break down     [D]
I've locked it out for long enough
Got really good at playing rough now
I've been prepared
And not really cared
For being brave is getting tough

Chin now don't you quiver
Hands don't start to shiver
Gotta keep myself from breaking down
Someone get me out, someone let me out

You smile like the cat that's got the cream
I'm vulnerable and I know you see me
There's so much I wanna say
But this lump in my throat makes me walk away
Away, Away

Tear don't you fall
Eyes don't you cry
Pride don't cave in
Head don't let go

Break down, I can't break down
