 I'm paralyzed
F#m
 Ooh
   E
Ooh (Let's go)

[Verse 1]
                           F#m
I see you drowning in the purple
lights
           F#m
Diamonds shinin' bright
            E
I see every ice on you
                          F#m
You snatch my soul, I'm crucified
        F#m
I feel paralyzed
             E
I'm so mesmerized by you (By you)

                   F#m
But I know you're right for me
F#m
Ecstasy
               E
I keep coming back for more
                        F#m
I think that you would die for me
 F#m
Destiny
                   E
And this time, I know for sure

[Chorus]

Just don't break my heart
(Don't break my heart)

Don't let me down, please

Don't you break my heart
(Don't break my heart)
                           D
I don't know if I can take it
anymore

[Verse 2]
            F#m
Take it anymore, take it anymore
                               E
I can't take another heartbreak
or I'll end it all
                        F#m
And the girl I used to love
                     F#m
We broke up in the club
                          E
And I almost died in the discotheque

[Pre-Chorus]
                           F#m
And now I know she wasn't right
for me, enemy
               E
I kept coming back for more
                      F#m
I'd rather you would die for me,
destiny
                  E
And this time I know for sure

[Chorus]
                     F#m
Just don't break my heart
E
(Don't break my heart)
                  D
Don't let me down, please
                    F#m
Don't you break my heart
E
(Don't break my heart)
                           D
I don't know if I can take it
anymore
                F#m
Don't break my heart
E
(Don't you, don't you)
              D
I'm falling apart already
                    F#m
Don't you break my heart
E
(Don't you, don't you)
                           D
I don't know if I can take it
anymore

[Bridge]
F#m
I believe the liquor's talking
        E
I just need the room
to stop and
F#m
I could be the one you want
                 E
Just as long as you
don't break my heart
       F#m
And I realized
        F#m
When I kissed your neck
                  E
That the room is hot
       E
I can taste your sweat
           F#m
It's just you and I
        F#m
In the discotheque
               E
But don't you worry

[Chorus]
                     F#m
Just don't break my heart
E
(Don't break my heart)
                  D
Don't let me down, please
                    F#m
Don't you break my heart
E
(Don't break my heart)
                           D
I don't know if I can take it
anymore
                F#m
Don't break my heart
E
(Don't you, don't you)
              D
I'm falling apart already
                    F#m
Don't you break my heart
E
(Don't you, don't you)
                           D
I don't know if I can take it
anymore
