C                     D
What if I wanted to break
                       Em
Laugh it all off in your face
                B
What would you do?
C                       D
What if I fell to the floor
                      Em
Couldn’t take this anymore
                B
What would you do?

Chorus:
 C              D
Come, Break me down
Bury me, Bury me
Em                 B
I am finished With you

What if I wanted to fight
Beg for the rest of my life
What would you do, do, do?
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for?
I'm not running from you, from you

Chorus:
Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you
Look in my eyes
You're killin' me, killin' me
All I wanted was you

Am             B      Em
I tried to be someone else
                        C
But nothing seemed to change
    D        Em                        C
I know now, this is who I really am inside
         Bm      Em
Finally found myself
                 C
Fighting for a chance
    D        Em
I know now, this is who I really am

Chorus:
Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you, you, you
Look in my eyes
You're killin' me, killin' me
All I wanted was you

Come, break me down,
break me down, break me down
(You say you wanted more)
What if I wanted to break?
(What are you waiting for?)
(I'm not running from you)
What if I, what if I, what if I, what if I
Bury me, bury me
