A            E7
My love and I, we work well together
F#m                  D7M
But often we're apart
E                      F#m
Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah,
Bm7                               A7M F#m D7M E
Till love breaks down, love breaks down

A            E7
Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather
F#m                 D7M
The sweet September rain
E                   F#M
Rain on me like no other
Bm
Until I drown, until I drown

D
When love breaks down
E
The things you do
D
To stop the truth from hurting you

E
When love breaks down
D
The lies we tell,
E
They only serve to fool ourselves,
D
When love breaks down
E
The things you do
D
To stop the truth from hurting you
E
When love breaks down, when love breaks down

A            E7
My love and I, we are boxing clever
F#m                   D7M
She'll never crowd me out
E                   F#m
Fall be free as old confetti
Bm
And paint the town, paint the town
D
When love breaks down
E
The things you do
D
To stop the truth from hurting you
E
When love breaks down

D
The lies we tell,
E
They only serve to fool ourselves,
D
When love breaks down
E
The things you do
D
To stop the truth from hurting you
E
When love breaks down

D
The lies we tell,
E
They only serve to fool ourselves,

To stop the truth from hurting you
E
When love breaks down

D
You join the wrecks
E
Who leave their hearts for easy sex
D
When love breaks down
E                   D
When love breaks down
