A much easier and accurate version of the song. Hope you like it! (I single strum the very last line, but that's just personal preference) Brandi Carlile - Before It Breaks Give Up the Ghost - 2009 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Capo on the 4th Fret - - - - - - (single strum) - (single strum) (Verse 1) Around here, it's the hardest time of year Waking up, the days are even gone The collar of my coat Lord help me, cannot help the cold The raindrops sting my eyes I keep them closed. (Pre-Chorus) But I'm feelin' no pain I'm a little lonely and my quietest friend Have I the moonlight? Have I let you in? Say it aint so, say I'm happy again (Chorus 1) Say it's over, say I'm dreaming, Say I'm better than you left me Say you're sorry, I can take it Say you'll wait, say you won't Say you love me, say you don't I can make my own mistakes -- Let it bend before it breaks (Verse 2) I'm all right. Don't I always seem to be? Aren't I swinging on the stars? Don't I wear them on my sleeve? When you're looking for a crossroads, It happens every day And whichever way you turn, I'm gonna' turn the other way (Chorus 2/Outro) Say it's over, say I'm dreaming, Say I'm better than you left me Say you're sorry, I can take it Say you'll wait, say you won't Say you love me, say you don't I can make my own mistakes -- Let it bend before it breaks (single strum) Let it bend before it breaks (End on )
