Intro 
Am F Dm Em (x2) 

verse 1: John Cooper 
Am             F          Em 
This night, nothing like any other night, can?t take anymore 
Am            F                Dm                  C 
You say I?ll never be nothing, cause us suffering, something to ignore 

Pre-Chorus John Cooper 
F              G 
These things you say 
Am           Em              F 
You make me weak but I have changed 
               G             Em     F 
No way, I am stronger than before 

       Am        F            C        G 
I will break, breaking free, coming alive 
    F                 Dm       Am         G       Am 
I broke these chains, never be afraid to live my life (never be afraid to live my life) 
Am      F              C          G 
Break, breaking free, one last time 
   F                     Am            G 
No matter what they say, I will never change 
   Am                    F      G     F 
And I know I can break (break) break (break) 
F              G       Am 
Look out, I?m breaking free 


Am F Dm Em 

verse 2: Lacey Sturm, Jen Ledger, Both 
Am       F 
This is who I am 
Am                         Em                Am 
You don?t understand, you never even try to swim 
   F 
I think you?re listening 
Dm                 Em 
Drop defence, you stab and twist the knife 

Pre-Chorus John Cooper 
F              G 
These things you say 
Am           Em              F 
You make me weak but I have changed 
               G             Am     F 
No way, I am stronger than before 

       Am        F            C        G 
I will break, breaking free, coming alive 
    F                 Dm       Am         G       Am 
I broke these chains, never be afraid to live my life (never be afraid to live my life) 
Am      F              C          G 
Break, breaking free, one last time 
   F                     Am            G 
No matter what they say, I will never change 
   Am                    F      G     F 
And I know I can break (break) break (break) 
F              G      F 
Look out, I?m breaking free
