She's as distant as the winter sun,
C G F
More consistent than the beat of a drum
C G Am G
All this time she's been hiding her weakness away from me
Verse 2:
C G F
Then one day I touched a nerve by mistake
C G F
Pressed too hard and she started to shake
C G Am G
Every time that I go there I know there's so much she can take,
(G)
before she breaks
Chorus:

She breaks like China, She breaks like China

The longer we take, the bigger we break when we find out

I keep a close eye on the way I act
C G F
Even when I start to see all the cracks
C G Am G
I give nothing away but expect her to stay with me

C G F
When she worked out where my weakness lay
C G F
And she wouldn't stop until I gave way

C G F
With a heart that makes no sense to the mind

For the things we try to keep inside

Find their way out in the dark of the night
