INTRO: (## whispered a Capella ##) I'm so afraid to draw you close Hold me Before my hands fall away I'll suffocate If I can't breathe you in And hold you there Forever
G        Bm             Em     C
I left a message at the hotel

                          D
They said you checked out

                           G
They said you ain't coming back

           Bm                Em
I tried to call you, but you turned off your cell

       F
And it said at the tone

     D         B
Just leave me alone
PRE-CHORUS:
      Em                B
And I fall apart at the seams

                D       G      A
It seems that I always, always fall apart

       C
But as strong as I am

                       G       F
Why can't I break your heart?
CHORUS:
                             C
I remember how it used to be

                                  G
Making love to you all night long

                                  D
I used to take you in my arms and hold you there 

                         F
'til all my strength was gone

                            C
I used to be a man of steel

                         G   Em  C  D  G
I used to be a man of steel

             Bm            Em                 C
I built this prison that I thought was a home

                       D
And we both lived here

                       G
Guess you were living alone

            Bm                Em
I'd tear it down if you would only have asked

        F
And I'd build you a bridge

   D              B
So you could come back
PRE-CHORUS:
      Em                B
And I fall apart at the seams

                D       G      A
It seems that I always, always fall apart

       C
But as strong as I am

                       G      F
Why can't I break your heart?
CHORUS:
                             C
I remember how it used to be

                                  G
Making love to you all night long

                                  D
I used to take you in my arms and hold you there

                         F
'til all your fears were gone

                            C
I used to be a man of steel

                         G   Em  C  D  G
I used to be a man of steel

                           Em
I used to be a man of steel

                   D          C
I used to take you in my arms

                             D                                  G
[Girl:] Hey, hey now tell me why can't you just break my heart?

               Bm            Em
I used to be a man of steel

                       D          C
And I used to take you in my arms

                                        D         G       D            G
[Girl:] I loved you from the start, now you can't tear my world apart

                            Em
I used to be a man of steel

                   D
I used to take you in my arms

?                                 C
What's it going to take for us to break down

    D        Em               B
And finally fall apart at the seams?

C               G           D A
It seems that I always fall apart

           C
[Girl:] As strong as you are...
As strong as I am...
                       G
Why can't you break my heart?
