Intro:
Verse 1:
She s as distant as the winter sun,
More consistent than the beat of a drum
All this time she s been hiding her weakness away from me
Verse 2:
Then one day I touched a nerve by mistake
Pressed too hard and she started to shake
Every time that I go there I know there s so much she can take,
()
before she breaks
Chorus:
[NC] () ()
She breaks like China, She breaks like China
() () () ()
The longer we take, the bigger we break when we find out
Verse 3:
I keep a close eye on the way I act
Even when I start to see all the cracks
I give nothing away but expect her to stay with me
Verse 4:
When she worked out where my weakness lay
And she wouldn t stop until I gave way
Every time that she goes there she knows there s so much I can take,
()
before I break
Chorus:
[NC] () ()
I break like China, I break like China
() () () ()
The longer we take, the bigger we break when we find out
Middle 8:
The stronger we act, the longer we crack,
There s only so much we can take till we start to break
Solo: () () () ()
Verse 5:
We re constructed from the same design
With a heart that makes no sense to the mind
We can keep it together but pressure and time have their way
Verse 6:
For the things we try to keep inside
Find their way out in the dark of the night
All it takes is the tiniest touch and there s only so much, before we break
Chorus:
[NC] () ()
We break like China, We break like China
() () () ()
The longer we take, the bigger we break when we find out

China China We break like China
