Dm                            A#
I went out on the town and I stumbled
Dm                           A#
I got caught in the trap of somethin'
Dm                              A#
Bag of bones, sat alone in the deep end
Dm                                    A#
Pull me up, you don't know what I've been through
        A
It was so cruel

Chorus:
Dm    C    A#             C
When your heart's been aching
Dm    C   A#          C
When you can't escape it
Dm     C   A#                 A
Don't you feel like breaking down?

Took a trip on the skip in the ocean
Sunk my ship like a brick, I was sulking
Caught a ride on the tide of your lovin'
Spun me 'round, ran aground, next to nothing
Ain't it something?

Chorus

When the earth is shaking
And your soul's been taken
Don't you feel like breaking down?

          A
Breaking down

Chorus

          A
Breaking down
