Intro:
 Dbm A        E       B
You broke me first
 
Verse 1:
   Dbm
Maybe you don't like talking too much
          A
about yourself
     E
But you shoulda told me
                                B
That you were thinking 'bout someone else
  Dbm
You're drunk at a party
                             A
Or maybe it's just that your car broke down
        E
Your phone's been off for a couple of months
             B
So you're calling me now
 
Pre-chorus:
Dbm                       A
I know you, you're like this
       E
When xxxx don't go your way you needed
B
me to fix it
      Dbm       A
And like me, I did
        E                 B
But I ran out of every reason
 
Chorus:
                      Dbm         A
Now suddenly you're asking for it back
                      E                B
Could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve?
                         Dbm             A
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
                    E              B
But I don't really care how bad it hurts
                          Dbm  A 
When you broke me first
                       E  B 
You broke me first
 
Verse 2:
   Dbm                           A
Took a while, was in denial when I first heard
      E
That you moved on quicker than I could've ever
       B
You know that hurt
   Dbm
Swear, for a while I would stare at my phone
         A
Just to see your name
     E
But now that it's there, I don't really
              B
know what to say
 
Pre-chorus:
Dbm                       A
I know you, you're like this
       E
When xxxx don't go your way you needed
B
me to fix it
 Dbm            A
And like me, I did
    E                     B
But I ran out of every reason
 
Chorus:
                        Dbm         A
Now suddenly you're asking for it back
                      E                B
Could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve?
                         Dbm             A
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
                    E              B
But I don't really care how bad it hurts
                          Dbm  A 
When you broke me first
                       E  B 
You broke me first
 
Bridge:
                         Dbm   A
What did you think would happen?
                         E     B
What did you think would happen?
                   Dbm    A
I'll never let you have it
                        E      B
What did you think would happen?

But I don't really care how bad it hurts
                           Dbm   A 
When you broke me first
                          E        B 
You broke me first (You broke me first)
