Things That Break

Miranda Lambert


Tom: G

G                            Em
I was born a bull in a china cabinet
G                            Em
Drawn to the delicate like it's a magnet
Am                   Em
Perfume bottle on a mirror tray
G                         D
Tempered glass on a window pane
Am                    Em
Timeless face on a pocket watch
D
Time is ticking

[Chorus]
G                  Em
I leave it all in ruins
G                     Em
'Cause I don't know what I'm doing
Am                   Em
I'm hard on things that matter
Am                      Em
Hold a heart so tight it shatters
Cadd9                 D
So I stay away from things that break

[Verse 2]
G                                             Em
Can't make a man a promise With the best of intentions
G                                       Em
Drive two hundred miles on a rundown engine
Am                               Em
Put a blanket underneath a hollow tree
G                                   D
When the wind blows hard it will fall on me
Am                         Em
Stick around long and you will see
D
Time is ticking

[Chorus]
G                  Em
I leave it all in ruins
G                     Em
'Cause I don't know what I'm doing
Am                   Em
I'm hard on things that matter
Am                      Em
Hold a heart so tight it shatters
Cadd9                 D
So I stay away from things that break

[Bridge]
Cadd9
Me, I don't ever wanna get too close
G
Or be held responsible
Em
For the pain that you can't see
G                   D
Somebody once broke me

[Chorus]
G                  Em
I leave it all in ruins
G                     Em
'Cause I don't know what I'm doing
Am                   Em
I'm hard on things that matter
Am                      Em
Hold a heart so tight it shatters
Cadd9                 D
So I stay away from things that break
