Break Your Heart
-Barenaked Ladies
G D
The bravest thing I've ever done
Am7 D
Was to run away and hide
G D C D
But not this time, not this time
G D
And the weakest thing I've ever done
Am7 D
Was to stay right by your side
G D C D
Just like this time and every time
Am C D
I couldn't tell you I was happy you were gone
C D C D
So I lied and said that I missed you when we were apart
Am C D
I couldn't tell you so I had to lead you on
G D G D C D
But I didn't mean to break your heart.
G D
And if I always seemed distracted,
Am7 D
Like my mind is somewhere else
G D C D
That's because it's true, yes it's true
G D
It's the stupid pride that makes me feel
Am7 D
Like I have to follow through
G D C D
Even half-assedly, loving you
Am D C D
Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice?
Am7
When I guess I should have just come out and told
D
You right from the start
Am D C D
Why must I always tell you all I want is this?
C D G D Am7 D
I guess cause I didn't want to break your heart.
D
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
How could you be so low?
G D C D
You arrogant man,
Em D C D
What do you think that I am?
Am D
My heart will be fine
Am D
Just stop wasting my time
G D
And now I know that you will be okay
Am7 D
And that I got what I want
G D
And that's rid of you
C D
Good-bye
G D
And its not cause I'll be missing you
Am7 D
That makes me fall apart
G D
It's just that I didn't mean to break
Am7 D
No, I didn't mean to break
C D
No, I didn't mean to break
G D C D
Your heart
G D C D
Your heart

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BARENAKED LADIES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
