[Verse 1]
E
Yesterday I flew straight into tomorrow,
E
Today I'm gonna lose,
E
The ups and the downs,
        D               B
And the seeds that they sow.


[Pre-Chorus 1]
E
Blowin' hot and cold,
E
Must be getting old,
E
Everybody knows,
E
The cubes that you knock back,
      D      A
Won't reincarnate,
        D                 A
You are trapped it's your fate,
     C             Bb
Very soon it's too late,
       C
So you give up, and,


[Chorus]
D           A
Break down, stay down,
D           A
Break down, low down,
E           D
Break down, stay down,
C#m        C
Stay down, break down.

[Verse 2]
E
Head is playin' tricks,
E
Colours are appearin',
E
But black and white don't mix,
E
With stories I'm hearing,
        D           B
They're bringing me down.


[Pre-Chorus 2]
E
If you don't help me soon,
E
I think I'm going crazy,
E
I just broke up the room,
E
Give me a piece,
       D            A
Of the world that I know,
          D            A
Where the seeds that I sow,
        C            Bb
Are the minds that I blow,
     C
So I give up, and,


[Chorus]
D           A
Break down, stay down,
D           A
Break down, low down,
E           D
Break down, stay down,
C#m        C
Stay down, break down.
