  C#m                    F#m
I won't give up your love
Just because the last one there
I won't give up your life
Just because it's getting tough

               C#m            E
So you better think about it right now
F#m              A          C#m      E
If you're gonna back down, give it up
F#m       A
Pack it up
     C#m           E                   F#m
You know me well enough, you know it's true
       A            E   C#m
We're headed for a melt down
  B       C#m
From our love

And when you fell down, I picked you up
So baby, breack down, give in to me
Are you gonna find your heart and your key
In the lost and the found

It's a melt down
It's a breakdown
It's a melt down
It's a breakdown

I won't walk out on you
But I can't give up my pride every time you run and hide
You'd better think about it right now
If you're gonna back down
Give it up, pack it up
You know me well enough, you know it's true
We're headed for a melt down
From our love

And when you fell down, I picked you up
So baby, breack down, give in to me
Are you gonna find your heart and your key
In the lost and the found

You know me well enough, you know it's true
We're headed for a melt down
From our love
And when you fell down, I picked you up
So baby, breack down, give in to me
Are you gonna find your heart and your key
In the lost and the found

It's a melt down
It's a breakdown
It's a melt down
It's a breakdown

In the lost and the found, girl
Lost and the found
It's a breakdown
Lost and the found
Break down, give in to me
Call it off, you can set me free
Melt down, give in to me
Are you gonna find your heart and your key
In the lost and the found
