[Verse 1]
E
Yesterday I flew straight into tomorrow,

E
Today I'm gonna lose,

E
The ups and the downs,

        D               B
And the seeds that they sow.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
E
Blowin' hot and cold,

E
Must be getting old,

E
Everybody knows,

E
The cubes that you knock back,

      D      A
Won't reincarnate,

        D                 A
You are trapped it's your fate,

     C             Bb
Very soon it's too late,

       C
So you give up, and,
[Chorus]
D           A
Break down, stay down,

D           A
Break down, low down,

E           D
Break down, stay down,

C#m        C
Stay down, break down.
[Interlude] E G A Bb* [Verse 2]
E
Head is playin' tricks,

E
Colours are appearin',

E
But black and white don't mix,

E
With stories I'm hearing,

        D           B
They're bringing me down.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
E
If you don't help me soon,

E
I think I'm going crazy,

E
I just broke up the room,

E
Give me a piece,

       D            A
Of the world that I know,

          D            A
Where the seeds that I sow,

        C            Bb
Are the minds that I blow,

     C
So I give up, and,
[Chorus]
D           A
Break down, stay down,

D           A
Break down, low down,

E           D
Break down, stay down,

C#m        C
Stay down, break down.
