[Intro]

Gbmaj7 Ebm9 Bbm7 Db Gbmaj7
 
 
[Verse]

             Ebm9            Bbm7
I'm dazzled hard, we're in Berlin
              Db    
And when you leave, 
      Fmaj7/Db            Gbmaj7
Just break it down to me softly

                 Ebm9  
Through veils of rain,  
        Bbm7
I'm shattering

             Db
I dip into the love 

We had with ease

Gbmaj7                
Lemon and ginger beer, 
Ebm9
Soap suds on navels

Bbm7                     
If I've upset you, could 
Db
You maybe say so?

Gbmaj7                     
Has something changed, have 
  Ebm9
I just missed the memo?

Bbm7                   Db
Tell me what I don't know
    Fmaj7/Db  Ebm  Fm 
Oh, won't you...
 
 
[Chorus]

Gbmaj7
Break it to me, break it to me, 

Break it to me

               Db     
Break it to me softly, 
             Db/Eb     Ebm  Fm 
I don't want no one else

Gbmaj7
Break it to me, break it to me, 

Break it to me

               Db     
Break it to me softly,  
             Db/Eb     Ebm  Fm 
I don't want no one else

Gbmaj7
Break it to me, break it to me, 

Break it to me

               Db    
Break it to me softly, 
             Db/Eb     Ebm  Fm 
I don't want no one else

Gbmaj7
Break it to me, break it to me, 

Break it to me

          Db         
Oh, I forget myself, 
             Db/Eb     Ebm  Fm 
I don't want no one else
 
Gbmaj7
 
 
[Verse 2]
              Ebm9            Bbm7
The pressure thuds behind my eyes
                  Db           Fm7/Db   
You look at me as if it's my fault that 
           Gbmaj7
we're stood here 

    Ebm9           
The cobalt of your 
                 Bbm7   Db
scarf has pulled clear

Gbmaj7                    
Stealing me traffic cones, 
Ebm9
Smiling at babies

Bbm7               Db
I must admit I wanted 

You to save me

Gbmaj7                    
Now I'm sat on the ground, 
Ebm9
Feeling half crazy

Bbm7                 Db
I don't want you to go
          Eb  F 
Oh, won't you...
 
 
[Chorus]

Gbmaj7
Break it to me, break it to me, 

Break it to me

               Db     
Break it to me softly, 
            Db/Eb      Ebm  Fm 
I don't want no one else

Gbmaj7
Break it to me, break it to me,

 Break it to me

               Db     
Break it to me softly, 
             Db/Eb     Ebm  Fm 
I don't want no one else

Gbmaj7
Break it to me, break it to me, 

Break it to me

               Db     
Break it to me softly,     
             Db/Eb     Ebm  Fm 
I don't want no one else

Gbmaj7
Break it to me, break it to me, 

Break it to me

          Db        
Oh, I forget myself, 
            Db/Eb
I don't want no one else

Break it to me softly,

I don't want no one else
