Intro: C
Verse 1:
She's as distant as the winter sun,
More consistent than the beat of a drum
All this time she's been hiding her weakness away from me
Verse 2:
Then one day I touched a nerve by mistake
Pressed too hard and she started to shake
Every time that I go there I know there's so much she can take,
before she breaks
Chorus:
(NC) C (G) F C (G) F
She breaks like China, She breaks like China
The longer we take, the bigger we break when we find out
Verse 3:
I keep a close eye on the way I act
Even when I start to see all the cracks
I give nothing away but expect her to stay with me
Verse 4:
When she worked out where my weakness lay
And she wouldn't stop until I gave way
Every time that she goes there she knows there's so much I can take,
before I break
Chorus:
(NC) C (G) F C (G) F
I break like China, I break like China
The longer we take, the bigger we break when we find out
Middle 8:
The stronger we act, the longer we crack,
There's only so much we can take till we start to break
Solo: C (G) F C (G) F (G) C (G) F Em Dm
Verse 5:
We're constructed from the same design
With a heart that makes no sense to the mind
We can keep it together but pressure and time have their way
Verse 6:
For the things we try to keep inside
Find their way out in the dark of the night
All it takes is the tiniest touch and there's only so much, before we break
Chorus:
(NC) C (G) F C (G) F
We break like China, We break like China
The longer we take, the bigger we break when we find out
(G) C (G) F C (G) F C (G) F G ~ ~
China China We break like China
