Chords

[Intro] E [Verse 1]

     E
If I seem a little jittery, I can't restrain myself

I'm falling into fancy fragments, can't contain myself

          C#        A                    E
I'm gonna breakdown, I'm gonna breakdown yeah

          C#        A                    E
I'm gonna breakdown, I'm gonna breakdown yeah

[Verse 2]

      E
Now I can stand austerity but it gets a little much

When there's all these livid things that you never get to touch

          C#        A                    E
I'm gonna breakdown, I'm gonna breakdown yeah

          C#        A                    E
I'm gonna breakdown, I'm gonna breakdown yeah

[Chorus 1]

  B
I feel my brain like porridge coming out of my ears

    A                  E   A E
And I was anticipating reverie

     B
I've taken leave of my senses and I'm in arrears

   C#                    D
My legs buckle over, I'm living on my knees

E               A
    A breakdown yeah

E                    A
 I'm gonna breakdown yeah

E                    A        B
 I'm gonna breakdown yeah, uh-huh

E [Verse 3]

    E
And whatever makes me tick, it takes away my concentration

It sets my hands a-trembling, gives me frustration

  C#        A                    E
A breakdown, I'm gonna breakdown yeah

          C#        A                    E
I'm gonna breakdown, I'm gonna breakdown yeah

[Verse 4]

    E
And so I hear that two is company, for me it's plenty trouble

Though my double thoughts are clearer now that I am seeing double

  C#        A                    E
A breakdown, I'm gonna breakdown yeah

            C#        A                    E
We're gonna breakdown, I'm gonna breakdown yeah

[Chorus 2]

   B
Oh mum can I grow out of what's too big for me?

     A                            E        A E
I'll give up that ghost before it gives up me

  B
I wander loaded as a crowd, a nowhere wolf of pain

C#                            D
Living next to nothing but my never mind remains

E               A
    A breakdown yeah

E                    A
 I'm gonna breakdown yeah

E                    A      
 I'm gonna breakdown yeah

[Outro]

   B
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

                                             B
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, hoo
