Am          F            Dm               Em
This night, nothing like any other night, can’t take anymore

Am             F                 Dm                  Em
  You say I’ll never be nothing, cause us suffering, something to ignore
[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper]
F              G
These things you say

Am           Em              F
You make me weak but I have changed

               G             Em     F
No way, I am stronger than before
[Chorus: John Cooper and Jen Ledger]
       Am        F            C        G
I will break, breaking free, coming alive

    F                 Dm       Am         G       Am
I broke these chains, never be afraid to live my life (never be afraid to live my life)

Am      F              C          G
Break, breaking free, one last time

No matter what they say, I will never change

And I know I can break (break) break (break)

F              G       Am
Look out, I’m breaking free

This is who I am

You don’t understand, you never even try

Am             F
   Just when I think you’re listening

Dm                Em
Drop defence, you stab and twist the knife
[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper]
F              G
These things you say

Am           Em               F
They don't hold me, I'm not your slave

               G             Am     F
No way, I am stronger than before

I broke these chains, never be afraid to live my life (never be afraid to live my life)

Am      F              C          G
Break, breaking free, one last time

No matter what they say, I will never change

   Am                    F      G     F
And I know I can break (break) break (break)
