Intro: G D G D
 
Verse 1:
G
I made a wreck out of my hand
G
I put it through the wall
D
I made a fist and not a plan
D
Call me a reckless wrecking ball
G
I throw my plates against the wall
G
And give it all I got
D
I aim to break not one but all
D
I'm just a big ol' wrecking ball
 
Chorus:
Em                  C
I am unruly in the stands
                         G
I am a rock on top of the sand
                      A
I am a fist amidst the hands
                               G  D
And I break it just because I can
 
Post-Chorus:
 G             D
-Bu-da-da-dah, du-da-dah-
 G              D
-Da-da-da-dah, oh, oh, oh-
 
Verse 2:
 G
It takes a dedicated hand
 G
To put it through the wall
 D
You gotta wanna break the heart
 D
Of all those pretty porcelain dolls
 G
You gotta wanna be the drummer in the band
 G
You gotta wanna be a battering ram
 D
You gotta see the artistry
 D
In tearing the place apart with me baby
 
Chorus:
 Em                C

                       A
I am a fist amidst the hands

And I break it just because I can
