D5 
Scratch the ice  

Let the telephone ring 

Sense of time is a powerful thing 
Bb5            G5 
And we love to laugh 
        Bb5 
Love to cry 
      C5 
Half alive We learn to 
 

D5 
Go slow when we're dancing for rain 

Dry skin flakes when there's ice in the veins 
   Bb5            G5 
And we love to cry 
      Bb5     C5    
Half alive 
 

D5  Bb5                               D5   Bb5 
     Is this the start of the breakdown? 
D5 Bb5 G5 Bb5 C5 
 
D5 
Scratch the earth 

Dig the burial ground 

Sense of time won't be easily found 
    Bb5          G5 
And ten out of ten 
        Bb5         C5 
For the ones who defend 

Pretend to 
D5 
Breakdown is a vital demand 

We stand firm with our head in our hands 
        Bb5      G5 
Aa we love to cry 
        Bb5 C5 
Half alive 
                              D5 
Is this the start of the breakdown? 
            Bb5 
I can't understand you. 
                              D5 
Is this the start of the breakdown? 
            Bb5 
I can't understand you. 
                              D5 
Is this the start of the breakdown? 
Bb5      G5    Bb5   C5 
Break break  
D5 Bb5 G5 Bb5 C5 
 
                              D5 
Is this the start of the breakdown? 
            Bb5 
I can't understand you.
