Intro:

A  B  A  B

Verse 1:

A           B                A
  That was then and this is now
           B                  A
I found my way back here somehow
            B             A
Knew you'd have to let me go
            B              E
I told you once I told you so

Chorus:

         F#m
Take me down
         G#m
You can hold me but you
A                     E
Can't hold what's within
        F#m            G#m
Pull me round, push me to the limit
A           B
Maybe I may bend
       C#m        B       A
But I know where I'm not going
               E
I will not be broken
              D7sus2/A
I will not be broken

I will not be

Verse 2:

A        B                A
 Someone other than who I am
        B                 A
I will fight to make my stand
               B                      A
Cause what is livin' if I can't live free
         A                    E
What is freedom if I can't be me

Chorus:

        F#m
Take me down
        G#m
You can hold me but you
A                    E
Can't hold what's within
        F#m            G#m
Pull me round, push me to the limit
A           B
Maybe I may bend
       C#m        B       A
But I know where I'm not going
               E
I will not be broken
              D7sus2/A
I will not be broken

Bridge:

A
  I won't let you near it
A#dim                   E
  I will let my spirit fly
A#m7b5   A
Fly      high

Chorus:

            E
Oh take me down
        F#m
Take me down

You can hold me but you
A                    E
Can't hold what's within
        F#m            G#m
Pull me round, push me to the limit
A           B
Maybe I may bend
       C#m        B       A
But I know where I'm not going
               E
I will not be broken

I will not be broken
              E
I will not be broken
