[Intro]
Am  G  D
Am  G  D

[Verse 1]
            Am             G  D
And now the storm subsided,
        Am           G  D
No more battle cries,
     Am                 G  D
Everything in its place,
       Am  G  D
Or nearby.

[Verse 2]
         Am             G  D
And as I turn into sane,
Am                  G  D
Then you have become mad,
          Am                 G  D
I plan to build with my hands,
         Am       G  D    C
So I can touch it.

[Chorus]
C           F        C
Love breaks down, yeah,
             F        Am
Won’t make a sound, yeah,
            Dm             G
It won’t be here when you awaken.
C                F        C
When love breaks down, yeah,
           Dm        Am
You ain’t around, yeah,
            F
It gave you time enough
    G
to take it.

[Verse 3]
         Am             G  D
You were willin’ to lose,
          Am             G  D
And I was faking to win,
Am            G    D
A tooth for a tooth,
             Am             G  D
That is just how it has been.

[Verse 4]
         Am              G  D
What you put it our affair,
Am                    G  D
It’s coming back, you see,
       Am             G  D
If you let it be said,
Am            G  D
You let it be.

[Chorus]
     C           F
When love breaks down, yeah,
C            Dm        Am
Don’t make a sound, yeah,
          F             G
It fades away until you see it,
C                F        C
When love breaks down, yeah,
            Dm        Am
Don’t fck around it, yeah,
            Bb             Gadd11  G
It gave you time enough to give it.

Now there is nothing more to say,
               F         Em
Nothing sounds better anyway,
           Dm              Bb
This isn’t what it’s built for,
     G
Best stop,
F
Before
C         F
It breaks down, yeah,
C             F
Just when you found it, yeah,
Am   G  F  C
