[G]
[A] Someone shake me, break me, [G] let it be over
[A] Tell me that I'm aiming, and [G] break me, let it be over
[D] I'm just sad, I love it what it used [B] to be
[Em] That everyone [E] knows what it means
[D] I've clung my ears, not wanting [B] to hear
[Em] But the words are loud and clear
[Gm]
Through these walls spoken, I hear my neighbors when
They say she don't [Am] love him, she [Gm] don't [Bbm] love him
They [A] say my heart's [G] in [B] danger, cause in deep in me, she [A] don't [Em] love or [A] favor

Oh, [Ab] listening to my neighbors criticize
[Bb] What a fool, like to realize, [Ab] you don't want my inside
[Eb] In this dream called my [C] fate, I [Fm] can't believe I'm [Abm] entering fate
Never [Eb] ever dreamed [C] before, [Fm] so let it tell me I'm [F] dreaming now
[Bb] Shake me, break me, let it, [Ab] when it's over
[Bb] Tell me that I'm dreaming, and [Ab] break me, when it's over
Oh,
[Bb] shake me, break me, let it, [Ab] when it's over
