Break Your Heart

Natalie Merchant

(Capo on 1st fret)
    C C/B Fmaj7 F G C (x2)
                     C                                                         G
              Oh, people downcast in despair, see the disillusion everywhere
              Fmaj7                                                                                C
              Hoping their bad luck will change - gets a little harder everyday
              People struggle, people fight for the simple pleasures in their life
              The trouble comes from everywhere - it's a little more than you can bear

                                 C              C/B     Am
                               I know that it will hurt
                                                             Dm
                               I know that it will break your heart
                                      C                                      G
                               The way things are, and the way they've been
                                                                               C     C/B Fmaj7 F G C
                               And the way they've always been

              People shallow, self-absorbed, see the push and shove for their rewards
              With nothing else on their minds - you can read about it in their eyes
              People ruthless, people cruel, the damage that some people do
              Full of hatred, full of pride, it's enough to make you lose your mind

                               I know that it will hurt
                               I know that it will break your heart
                               The way things are, and the way they've been

                               Yeah, I know that it will hurt
                               I know that it will break your heart
                               The way things are, and the way they've been

                                                 Bb                        Fmaj7                 G
                                                 Don't spread the discontent, don't spread the lies
                                                 Bb                      Fmaj7                      G
                                                 Don't make the same mistakes with your own life
                                                                                                        C    C/B Fmaj7 F G C
                                                 You know a little love will get us by
                                                                                                               C  C/B Am Fmaj7 C
                                                                                                                  C/B  Am Dm C G

                               Yeah, I know that it will hurt
                               I know that it will break your heart
                               The way things are, and the way they've been

                                                 Don't spread the discontent, don't spread the lies
                                                 Don't make the same mistakes with your own life
                                                         Bb            Fmaj7                        G
                                                 And don't disrespect yourself, don't lose your pride
                                                 And don't think everybody's going to choose your side
                                                 Oh no, oh no, oh no....
                                                                                        Bb Fmaj7 G  (repeat & fade)
