[Verse 1]
Did I mention we were Cdreaming
When the devil came toE town
I was awoken by theAm screaming
But nobody heard a Gsound
And the lies we told atF breakfast
Won't match the lies we had forAm lunch
And the lies we serve for Edinner (for dinner)
Yeah for Fdinner (for dinner)
They're the Gtallest of the bunch
[Verse 2]
Did you notice he was Ccold (Did you notice he was cold)
When he finally lost conEtrol, of the ghost
And the epilogue I Amdreaded (and the epilogue I dreaded)
Now seemed likely to conGsole
And I'm still not underCstanding (and I'm still not understanding)
The things he did before heAm left
And the one thing that will Ehaunt me (will haunt me)
It will Fhaunt me (it will haunt me)
Right beGfore his final breath, he Csaid
[Interlude]
C E Am G F Am E F
[Chorus 1]
And they broke him Cdown, yeah they broke himG down
He said "DmI'll never be your saint you see, cause I Fwon't be hanging around"
So they broke him Cdown, yeah they broke himG down
So DmI stood there and I held my breath
Cause I Fknew that it wouldn't be long 'til they broke me Cdown
[Interlude 1]
C Am Dm F C G F
C Am Dm F C G F Fm
[Verse 3]
Did I mention we were Cflailing (did I mention we were flailing)
When the angels came aEround (when the angels came around)
And they just sat there, they wereAm waiting (and they just sat there, they were waiting)
For the first of us Gto drown (for the first of us to drown)
And I started going Funder (and I started going under)
But I didn't hold mCy breath (but I didn't hold my breath)
Cause the last thing that I Eneeded (I needed)
Oh I Fneeded (I needed)
WasG to owe a holy debt
Oh Cno
[Interlude 2]
C Am Dm F C G F x2
[Verse 4]
AmAnd no one holds a grGudge dear
Like IF do, I see it Cthrough
AmAnd you may not reGmember
It was Fnothing much at the time
But I Ckept it bottled insideE
Oh and we Amall know how that goesE
Yeah I'd given Amup on letting goF
So here weC are, with nothing Eleft here
And now you've Fleft me here
And I was Glast to know
[Chorus 2]
And they broke him Cdown (and they broke him down)
yeah they broke himG down (and they broke him down)
So DmI can't be your saint you see cause I Fwon't be hanging around
And they broke him Cdown (and they broke him down)
yeah they broke himG down (and they broke him down)
So DmI stood there and I held my breath cause I Fknew that it wouldn't be long
[Bridge]
C G Am F x2
[Bridge]
Holy smCoke!
Some say he'd Egiven up the ghost
But I think he's in the Ambackground (somewhere in the background)
Hiding in his Gfavorite photograph
And he's leaving as a Fbeggar (and he's leaving as a beggar)
Or a milliAmonaire (or a millionaire)
But the one thing that I'm Esure of (I'm sure of)
I am Csure of (I'm sure of)
Is he Gfound some comfort there
[Chorus 3]
And they broke him Cdown (and they broke him down)
yeah they broke himG down (and they broke him down)
So DmI can't be your saint you see cause I Fwon't be hanging around
And they broke him Cdown (and they broke him down)
yeah they broke himG down (and they broke him down)
So DmI stood there and I held my breath cause I Fknew that it wouldn't be long
Until they broke me Cdown (and they broke him down)
yeah they broke himG down (and they broke him down)
So DmI can't be your saint you see because I Fwon't be hanging around
And they broke him Cdown (and they broke him down)
yeah they broke himG down (and they broke him down)
So DmI stood there and I held my breath cause I Fknew that it wouldn't be long
'Til they broke me... ...Cdown
