    Dm                     F
We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain.
    C                    Gm
We jumped, never asking why.
    Dm               F
We kissed, I fell under your spell;
   C                   Gm
A love no one could deny.

   A#                 Dm
   Don’t you ever say I just walked away.
   F                  A#
   I will always want you.
                       Dm
   I can’t live a lie, running for my life.
   F                  A#
   I will always want you.

Chorus:
                        F
     I came in like a wrecking ball.
   C                Dm
     I never hit so hard in love.
   A#                      F
     All I wanted was to break your walls.
   C                   Dm        A#
     All you ever did was break me.
            Dm             A#
     Yeah, you, you wreck me.

I put you high up in the sky,
And now you’re not coming down.
It slowly turned; you let me burn,
And now we’re ashes on the ground.

   Don’t you ever say I just walked away.
   I will always want you.
   I can’t live a lie, running for my life.
   I will always want you.

Chorus:
     I came in like a wrecking ball.
     I never hit so hard in love.
     All I wanted was to break your walls.
     All you ever did was break me.

     I came in like a wrecking ball.
     Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung.
     Left me crouching in a blazing fall.
     All you ever did was break me.
     Yeah, you, you wreck me.

 A#                         Dm
   I never meant to start a war.
                               F
   I just wanted you to let me in.
                        Am7
   And instead of using force,
                               A#
   I guess I should’ve let you in.

 A#                         Dm
   I never meant to start a war.
                               F
   I just wanted you to let me in.
                               A7
   I guess I should’ve let you in.

   A#                 Dm
   Don’t you ever say I just walked away.
   F                  A#
   I will always want you.

Chorus:
     I came in like a wrecking ball.
     I never hit so hard in love.
     All I wanted was to break your walls.
     All you ever did was break me.

     I came in like a wrecking ball.
     Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung.
     Left me crouching in a blazing fall.
   C                  Dm        A#
     All you ever did was break me.
           Dm             A#
     Yeah, you, you wreck me.
           Dm             A#
     Yeah, you, you wreck me.
