Intro: Bbm Bbm

Verse 1:
Bbm               Eb
Cold days you go away
                     Ab
In search of finding something
                  Cm
To keep alive the flame
         Bbm
Then she came
               Eb
Pocket full of rain
                 Ab
Said pick up the embers
                         Cm
But you have to hide the pain

Pre-chorus:
       Cm             Bbm
If you can't take it back
          Cm          Eb
Why'd you do her like that?

Chorus:
Ab             Eb
 You break the girl
             Bbm
And take the pearl
          Db
Like it's good for nothing
Ab           Eb
 You say you love
             Bbm            Db
But then you don't show her any of it
Ab               Eb
 You crossed the line
               Bbm
She walked the bridge
    Db
And now you're leaving
Ab             Eb
 You break the girl
             Bbm
And take the pearl
           Db
Like she's good for nothing

Verse 2:
Bbm             Eb
   Caught up in the hems
                Ab
Said I was your baby
                 Cm
But nothing ever gave
              Bbm
Frayed at the ends
                 Eb
Still not making sense
                Ab
I'm crying at a movie
                             Cm
When I should feel something else

Pre-chorus:
       Cm            Bbm
If you can't take it back
          Cm         Eb
Why'd you do me like that?

Chorus:
Ab             Eb
 You break the girl
             Bbm
And take the pearl
          Db
Like it's good for nothing
Ab           Eb
 You say you love
             Bbm            Db
But then you don't show her any of it
Ab               Eb
 You crossed the line
               Bbm
She walked the bridge
    Db
And now you're leaving
Ab             Eb
 You break the girl
             Bbm
And take the pearl
           Db
Like she's good for nothing

Bridge:
Ab        Eb          Bbm Db
 La la la la la la la la
Ab        Eb          Bbm Db
 La la la la la la la la

Fm                 Eb
  Why break the girl?
Ab
 She's just a girl
Fm                  Eb
  Why break the girl, no
Ab
 She's just a girl

Why break the girl

Verse:
Ab         Eb                 Bbm   Db
 Mother of pearl, why did you turn?
Ab            Eb                   Bbm      Db
 You're tryna teach something that you will never learn

Chorus:
Ab               Eb
 You crossed the line
               Bbm
She walked the bridge
    Db
And now you're leaving
Ab            Cm
You break the girl
             Db
And take the pearl
           Dbm           Ab Cm
Like she's good for nothing
Db           Dbm
  Like she's good for nothing
