Breakdown

Eb                                
I write my name down at the bottom
             Bb
 and there's closure
Eb                          
I crack my brittle hands, I'm 
                  Bb
feeling so much older
Cm        Eb             Cm     
And now I understand why they 
        Eb
call it a breakthrough
Ab                            Fm 
Air rushes through the hole I 
           Eb
didn't fix to take you
Eb                                
So single-mindedly I toiled on my 
    Bb
own so
Eb
I shouldn't be surprised to find 
myself alone; solo
Ab                     Fm
Awaiting revelries and victories 
with myself
Ab                            
The puzzle is complete and so I 
           Bb
drink to my health


[Chorus]
Ab               Bb
The breakthrough; the breakdown
Ab                       Bb      
The perfection situates, but you 
Eb
didn't stick around
Ab           Bb
I breakdown, I can't break through
Fm                    Ab         
All my timelines fall away, 
    Bb                    Eb
drifting out my field of view

[Verse 2]
Eb                                
Drifting back to better times 
      Bb
guided by ethanol
Eb                         
3 AM, mass again, we found a 
  Bb
protocol
Cm                      Eb
Untangling the knots we tied 
ourselves together
Ab                   Fm          
Until exhausted, finally we cut 
   Bb
the tether
Eb
All aboard the carousel, we're going
 round again

So many cycles in my mind, a mental 
loop inside my brain
Cm
And now I understand why they call 
it a breakthrough
Ab                           Fm  
Hotel corridors and bathroom 
           Bb            Ab
floors, I tear myself in two


[Chorus]
Ab               Bb
The breakthrough; the breakdown
Ab                       Bb      
The perfection situates, but you 
Eb
didn't stick around
Ab           Bb
I breakdown, I can't break through
Fm                    Ab         
All my timelines fall away, 
    Bb                   Eb
drifting out my field of view


[Bridge]
Ab               Bb
The breakthrough; the breakdown
Ab                       Bb      
The perfection situates, but you 
Eb
didn't stick around
Ab           Bb
I breakdown, I can't break through
Fm                    Ab         
All my timelines fall away, 
    Bb                 Ab
drifting out my field of view


[Otro]
Ab                Bb
The breakthrough; the breakdown
Ab                      Eb
The perfection situates, but you 
didn't stick around
Ab           Bb
I breakdown, I can't break through
Fm                          Ab
All my timelines fall away, drifting
 out my field of view
Fm                          Ab   
All my timelines fall away, 
    Bb                Eb
drifting out my field of view
