Am            Dm
Gone like the wind
         Am               Em Dm
And the state it put him in
    Am            Dm
To hold his head high
         Am             Em Dm
When he really wanna die

Chorus:
    Am
And you know
    Am             D
the difference it makes
    Am
And you know
             D
all that it takes
    C        D        Am
Is love, so he won't break
Dm        Am Em Dm
He won't break

He's crazy from the pain
And cannot get hurt again
And if he ever falls
I'd feel sorry for us all

Chorus

Right around the way
Is where they go to pay
For remedies and pills
To ease their ills

Chorus

He won't break
Won't break
He won't break

Right around the way
Is where they go to pay
For remedies and pills
To ease their ills

Chorus

Won't break
He won't break
