Dm
Donʼt you wanna go for a ride?
Just keep your hands inside
And make the most out of life,
                          G7
Now donʼt you take it for granted.
Dm
Life is like a mean machine;
It made a mess out of me,
It left me caught between
                           G7
Like an angry dream, I was stranded,
I was stranded.

           Bb
   And Iʼm steady, but Iʼm starting to shake;
         C
   And I donʼt know how much more I can take.

   Dm
     Well, this is it now, evʼrybody get down;
     Bb
     This is all I can take,
     C
     This is how a heart breaks.
  Dm
     You take a hit now, you feel it break down,
     Bb
     Make you stay wide awake:
     C                           Dm
     This is how a heart breaks.

Donʼt you wanna go for a ride
Down to the other side,
Feel so good you could cry?
Now wonʼt you do what I told you?
I remember when you used to be shy.
Yeah, once we were so fine, you and I;
Now why you gotta make it so hard on me?
Hey, itʼs hard on me!

   And Iʼm sorry, but itʼs not a mistake;
   And Iʼm running but youʼre getting away.

     Well, this is it now, evʼrybody get down;
     This is all I can take,
     This is how a heart breaks.
     You take a hit now, you feel it break down,
     Make you stay wide awake:
                                 G9
     This is how a heart breaks.
     Well, this is how a heart breaks.

Instrumental: Dm C Bb C C Dm Bb C

Dm     C       Bb        C       Dm
Youʼre not the best thing that I knew;
         C                 Bb
Never was, never cared too much
        C             Dm
For all this hanging around.
     C        Bb        C        Dm
Itʼs just the same thing all the time:
         C
Never get what I want,
Bb                  C               Dm
Never get too close to the end of a line.
           C        Bb        C       Gsus4
And youʼre just the same thing that I knew
Back before the time when I was learning the ropes.
