Chords

[Verse 1]
C
We all come in from the cold

   Bb
We come down from the wire

    F                                         C
An' everybody warms themselves to a different fire

    C                C
'N sometimes we get burned

      Bb
You'd think sometime we'd learn

   F                                             G
The one you love is the one that should take you higher

          F                      C       G       C
You ain't got no one, you better go back out and find her
[Verse 2]
 C
Just like children hiding in a closet

                  G
Can't tell what's going on outside

                 F
Sometimes, we're so far off the beaten track

       C
We get taken for a ride

      F                    G
By a parlor trick, or some words of wit

C                  F
A hidden hand up a sleeve
To think the one you love could hurt you, now
                    G
Is a little hard to believe

                                                      C
But everybody, darlin', sometimes bites the hand that feeds
[Verse 3]
       C
When I look around

    G
An' everybody always brings me down

     F
Well, is it them or me?
Well, I just can't see
    C
But there ain't no peace to found

       F              G
But if someone really cared

             C                 F
Well, they'd take the time to spare

                                             G
A moment to try and understand another one's despair

 G                                                         C
Remember, in this game we call life, that no one said it's fair
[Chorus]
F    C                F
Breakdown Let me hear it, now

                          C
Breakdown Let me hear it, now

      F         G
Yeah Breakdown Let me hear it, now
[Verse 4]
     C
I've come to know the cold

 Bb
I think of it as home

          F
When there ain't enough of me to go around

                   C
I'd rather be left alone

         C
But if I call you out of habit

           Bb
I'm out of love and I gotta have it

F
Would you give it to me if I fit your needs?

                         C
Like when we both knew we had it

F                 G
Now, the damage's done

C                         F
And we're back out on the run

                                                     G
Funny how everything was roses when we held on to the guns

                                                       C
Just because you're winnin' don't mean you're the lucky one
[Chorus]
F    C                F
Breakdown Let me hear it, now

                          C
Breakdown Let me hear it, now

      F         G
Yeah Breakdown Let me hear it, now
