[Intro]
Dm
 
[Verse]
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
                           G
Like an angry dream I was stranded
 
I was stranded, yeah yeah yeah
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         Bb
And I'm steady but I'm starting to shake
        C
And I don't know how much more I can take
 
[Chorus]
Dm
This is it now
Everybody 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
 
[Verse 2]
Dm
Don't you wanna go for a ride
 
Down to the other side
 
Feels so good you could cry
                        G
Now won't you do what I told you
Dm
I remember when you used to be shy
 
Yeah, once we were so fine
                                   G
You and I why you gotta make it so hard on me
 
Yeah, it's hard on me
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
        Bb
And I'm sorry but it's not a mistake
        C
And I'm running but you're getting away
 
[Chorus]
Dm
This is it now
Everybody 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
 
[Interlude]
G
This is how a heart breaks
Am C Am C
 
[Chorus]
Dm      C       Bb        C           Dm
You're not the best thing that I knew
         C               Bb                  C           Dm
Never was never cared too much for all this hanging around
      C        Bb       C         Dm
It's just the same thing all the time
         C                   Bb           C                      Dm
Never get what I want, never get you close to the end of the line
        C       Bb        C            G
You're just the same thing that I knew 
G
Right before the time when I was only for you

The bridge goes more like this: Dm, C, Bb, C (repeat) Bb or A# whatever you like to call it. The end of the bridge however finishes with; Dm, C, Bb, C, G (keep playing G until the solo starts) Also the piano part goes like this: E|---50-----1-0-----| B|-3----1-------313-| G|--------3---------| D|------------------| A|------------------| E|------------------|
