break your heart – barenaked ladies

G Bm
the bravest thing i’ve ever done

C D
was to run away and hide

G Bm C D
but not this time , not this time

G Bm
and the weakest thing i’ve ever done

C D
was to stay right by your side

G Bm C D
just like this time and every time

Em C D
i couldn’t tell you i was happy you were gone

Am D
so i lied and said that i missed you when we were apart

Em C D
i couldn’t tell you so i had to lead you on

C D G Bm C D
but i didn’t mean to break your heart .
]
G Bm
and if i always seemed distracted ,

C D
like my mind is somewhere else

G Bm C D
that’s because it’s true , yes it’s true

G Bm
it’s the stupid pride that makes me feel

C D
like i have to follow through

G Bm C D
even half – assedly , loving you

Em C D
why must i always speak in terms of cowardice?

Am
when i guess i should have just come out and told

D
you right from the start

Em C D
why must i always tell you all i want is this?

C D G
i guess cause i didn’t want to break your heart .

and you said

Am
what’d you think i that i was gonna do?

Am
curl up and die just because of you?

D
i’m not that weak , you know

Am
what’d you think that i was gonna do?

Am
try to make you love me as much as i love you?

D G
how could you be so low?

G Bm
you arrogant man ,

C D
what do you think that i am?

Em C D
my heart will be fine

D
just stop wasting my time

G Bm
and now i know that you will be okay

C D
and that i got what i want

G Bm
and that’s rid of you

C D
good – bye

G Bm
and its not cause i’ll be missing you

C D
that makes me fall apart

C D
it’s just that i didn’t mean to break

C D
no , i didn’t mean to break

G Bm C D
your heart
