Em A You're not supposed to be human D You're not supposed to really feel Em A Not supposed to get involved with D Bm Anything completely real F#m Fifteen families starving G A D All around the corner block Bm F#m Here we're standing so alone G A D Just like Gibraltar Rock Chorus: D Em Not supposed to break down A D You're not supposed to break down Swallow the dirt Em Keep listening to the hurt A D You'll be safe and sound Supposed to be super human Cover everything Just like a bird Cover an egg with its wing And knowing there's nothing sacred And what is the use No point trying to find What is worth, what is true Chorus: Not supposed to break down (No) You're not supposed to break down Swallow the hurt Listen to the dirt And you'll be safe and sound You're not supposed to break down You're not supposed to break down Swallow the hurt Listen to the dirt You'll be safe and sound A fool and his mainline connection Bypass going to the well But that doesn't matter anymore And I'm sure that we can tell Who's a puppet on a string And who really holds the glove But it ain't up to you and me It's up to the Lord above Chorus: You're not supposed to break down You're not supposed to break down Swallow the hurt Keep on listening to the dirt And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound You're not supposed to break down You're not supposed to break down Swallow the hurt Listen to the dirt I'll bet you'll be safe and sound And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound I'll bet you'll be safe and sound | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA Bm D Em F#m G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
