[Verse 1]
Am
   I'm dying to catch my breath
Fsus2                 G
      Oh, why don't I ever learn?
Am
   I've lost all my trust
                   Fsus2             G
Though I've surely tried to turn it around

[Pre-Chorus 1]
F         G     Am
  Can you still see
          G  F
the heart of me?
                    G
All my agony fades away
                           C
When you hold me in your embrace

[Chorus 1]
(C)        G/B Am           G F
Don't tear me  down for all I need
                F(b5)  G    Gsus4
Make my heart a better place
        G                 C
Give me something I can believe
           G/B Am
Don't tear me  down
       G          F    G
You've opened the door now
G     N.C.   Am      F   G
Don't let it close

[Verse 2]
Am
   I'm here on the edge again
F                G
  I wish I could let it go
Am                                F
   I know that I'm only one step away
                 G
From turning it around

[Pre-Chorus 2]
F         G     Am
  Can you still see
          G  F
the heart of me?
                    G
All my agony fades away
                           C
When you hold me in your embrace

[Chorus 2]
(C)        G/B Am           G F
Don't tear me  down for all I need
                F(b5)  G    Gsus4
Make my heart a better place
        G                 C
Give me something I can believe
           G/B Am                G  F
Don't tear it  down, what's left of me
        G              Am
Make my heart a better place

[Bridge]
F              G                     Am
  I tried many times but nothing was real
        G     F          Dsus2    E   E7
Make it fade away, don't break me down
F             G                      Am
  I want to believe that this is for real
Em              F           Dsus2   E   E7
Save me from my fear, don't tear me down

[Chorus 3] (soft)
C            G/B Am           G F
  Don't tear me  down for all I need
        G              C
Make my heart a better place

[Chorus 4]
C            G/B Am           G F
  Don't tear me  down for all I need
                F(b5)  G    Gsus4
Make my heart a better place
        G                 C
Give me something I can believe
           G/B Am                G  F
Don't tear it  down, what's left of me
        G              F
Make my heart a better place
        G              C
Make my heart a better place
