Intro: Dm
Dm
Don't you wanna go for a ride
Just keep your hands inside
And make the most out of life
G
Now don't you take it for granted
Dm
Life is like a mean machine
It made a mess outta me
And left me caught between

Like an angry dream I was stranded
I was stranded, yeah yeah yeah

And I'm steady but I'm starting to shake
C
And I don't know how much more I can take
CHORUS:
Dm

Everybody get down

This is how a heart breaks
Dm

You feel it break down
Bb
Make you stay wide awake
C Dm
This is how a heart breaks
