Em                    G         B      Em
i never thought i'd change my opinion again
         G             B             Em
but you moved me in a way that i've never known
     G             B             Em         G B
you moved me in a way that i've never known

But straight away you just moved into position again
You abused me in a way that I've never known
You abused me in a way that I've never known

Chorus:
     Em                       G      Bm
so break me shake me hate me take me over
          Em                     Bm       D
when the madness stops then you will be alone
       Em                       G      Bm
just break me shake me hate me take me over
          Em                         Bm   D
when the madness stops then you will be alone

So you're the kind who deals with the games in the mind
Well, you confused me in a way that I've never known
You confused me in a way that I've never known

Chorus

          Em
She said, "I can help you, but what do you say?
'Because it's not free, baby, you'll have to pay."
You just keep me contemplatin',
that your soul is slowly fadin', yeah..
Oh-no, oh-no...

God, don't you know I live with a ton of regret?
'Cause I used to move you in a way that you've never known
But then I accused you in a way that you've never known
But you hurt me in a way that I've never known

Chorus:
Break me shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops, then you will be alone
So won't you break me shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops, then you will be alone
(Listen now, baby)
Break me shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops, then you will be alone
(You'll be, you'll be alone)
Break me shake me, hate me, take me, make me
Fake me, break me shake me, hate me, take me
Break me
