F                        A
Break down, hysteric and young
              Dm
Uncomfortably numb
                C
Then you sent my pain into oblivion
F            A                     Dm
I was on the verge of breaking down
              C
Then you came around
                          F
And not a second too late

[Verse 1]

F Am Dm C Bb F

F
Well, give two fingers to the person that I used to be
             Am
You shook the noose, slipped my head loose

And now that boy is history
                 Bb
And you see that I knew better, yeah, I knew better
     C
Than to refuse your hand, you rescued me from myself

[Pre-Chorus]
 Dm
Oh, just slip the noose
     C#                      C
Untie the rope from my wrists
                     Bb
I was about to let go

'Til I knew you existed

[Chorus]
F                        A
Break down, hysteric and young
              Dm
Uncomfortably numb
                C
Then you sent my pain into oblivion
F            A                     Dm
I was on the verge of breaking down
              C
Then you came around
                          F
And not a second too late

[Verse 2]
F Am Dm C Bb F


Well, loneliness is hell and you're alone
                  Am
But I can tell you that it's everything you need

Because it brought you back to me
                     Bb
And now you see that I knew better, yeah, I knew better
      C
Than to refuse your hand, you rescued me from myself

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Oh, just slip the noose
     C#                      C
Untie the rope from my wrists
                     Bb
I was about to let go

'Til I knew you existed

[Chorus]
F                        A
Break down, hysteric and young
              Dm
Uncomfortably numb
                C
Then you sent my pain into oblivion
F            A                     Dm
I was on the verge of breaking down
              C
Then you came around
                          F
And not a second too late

F                        A
Break down, hysteric and young

Uncomfortably numb
                C
Then you sent my pain into oblivion
F            A                     Dm
I was on the verge of breaking down
