Intro:
F#m  F#m  D  E  x2

F#m
I'm dying to catch my breath
D              E
oh why don't I ever learn
F#m                                       D
I've lost all my trust though I've surely tried to
         E
Turn it around


E             D                E
Can you still see the heart of me
                    D
all my agony fades away
         E                 A
when you hold me in your embrace


A             F#m
Don't tear me down
          D
for all I need
                       E
make my heart a better place
        E7                A
give me something I can believe
              F#m
Don't tear me down
                  D    E
You've opened the door now
             F#m  F#m  D  E
don't let it close


I'm here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I'm only one step away
From turning (it) around

Can you still see the heart of me
all my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace


A             F#m
Don't tear me down
          D
for all I need
                       E
make my heart a better place

give me something I can believe
              F#m
Don't tear it down
               D
what's left of me
        E              F#m
make my heart a better place


D            E                     F#m
I tried many times but nothing was real
D       E     D
make it fade away
F#m   E    F#m E   E7
don't break me down

D           E                      F#m
