The Specials - Breaking Point

no capo!

[verse (1)]

Bm
I’m here at breaking point
Mind and body tired
F#
Those plans for happiness
Have all expired
Em
The sales pitch from door to door
G
Says feed the rich and hang the poor
D
Twinkle twinkle little star
Bm
Point me to the nearest bar
Bbm
I’ll drown my sorrow with the rest
Do your worst, i’ll do my best
Bm F#
Here i am, at breaking point

[verse (2)]

Bm
I’m here at breaking point
The pen has dropped
F#
Progress would be wonderful
If only it would stop
Em
The internet is free to surf
G
Measures intellect by girth
D
Here come another email
Bm
There goes another shemale
Bbm
Social media is a trend
That will send us all
Bm
Around the bend

[chorus]

Ab
Heavy is the load
C#m
Of a creature ill-disposed
Ab
Of a man who finds the end
C#m
Before the start
Ab
It breaks your heart

[interlude]

F# Bm Em G Bm
F# Bm C#m

[verse (3)]

C#m
Stand with me at breaking point
Ab
As riots hit the streets
C#m
Another toppled government
Ab
Will make the day complete
F#
There goes another border
D
Here comes a new world order
C#m
It’s time to call it quits
Before the future hits
Ab
With the help of god and a few marines
We’ll blow this place to smithereens
C#m
Here we are, at breaking point

[chorus]

Ab
Heavy is the load
C#m
Of a creature ill-disposed
Ab
Of a man who finds the end
C#m
Before the start
Ab
It breaks your heart
