Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: C#

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
C
We all come in from the cold
  Bb
We come down from the wire
  F                     C
An' everybody warms themselves to a different fire
  C        C
'N sometimes we get burned
   Bb
You'd think sometime we'd learn
  F                       G
The one you love is the one that should take you higher
     F           C    G    C
You ain't got no one, you better go back out and find her

Verse 2:
 C
Just like children hiding in a closet
         G
Can't tell what's going on outside
         F
Sometimes, we're so far off the beaten track
    C
We get taken for a ride
   F          G
By a parlor trick, or some words of wit
C         F
A hidden hand up a sleeve

To think the one you love could hurt you, now
          G
Is a little hard to believe
                           C
But everybody, darlin', sometimes bites the hand that feeds

Verse 3:
    C
When I look around
  G
An' everybody always brings me down
   F
Well, is it them or me?

Well, I just can't see
  C
But there ain't no peace to found
    F       G
But if someone really cared
       C         F
Well, they'd take the time to spare
                       G
A moment to try and understand another one's despair
 G                             C
Remember, in this game we call life, that no one said it's fair

Chorus:
F  C        F
Breakdown Let me hear it, now
             C
Breakdown Let me hear it, now
   F     G
Yeah Breakdown Let me hear it, now

Verse 4:
   C
I've come to know the cold
 Bb
I think of it as home
     F
When there ain't enough of me to go around
          C
I'd rather be left alone
     C
But if I call you out of habit
      Bb
I'm out of love and I gotta have it
F
Would you give it to me if I fit your needs?
             C
Like when we both knew we had it
F         G
Now, the damage's done
C             F
And we're back out on the run
                           G
Funny how everything was roses when we held on to the guns
                            C
Just because you're winnin' don't mean you're the lucky one

Chorus:
F  C        F
Breakdown Let me hear it, now
             C
Breakdown Let me hear it, now
   F     G
Yeah Breakdown Let me hear it, now
