(Intro)
C#m A
E Emaj7
You broke me first
Verse 1
C#m A
Maybe you don’t like talking too much about yourself
E
But you should have told me
Emaj7
That you were thinking ’bout someone else
C#m
You’re drunk at a party
A
Or maybe it’s just that your car broke down
E
Or your phone’s been off for a couple of months
B
So you’re calling me now
(Pre-Chorus)
C#m A
I know you, you’re like this
E Emaj7
When shit don’t go your way you needed me to fix it
C#m A
And like me, I did
E Emaj7
But I ran out of every reason
(Chorus)
C#m A
Now suddenly you’re asking for it back
E Emaj7
Could you tell me, where’d you get the nerve?
C#m A
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
E B
But I don’t really care how bad it hurts
C#m A
When you broke me first
E Emaj7
You broke me first
(Verse-2)
C#m A
Took a while, was in denial when I first heard
E
That you moved on quicker than I could’ve ever
Emaj7
You know that hurt
C#m
Swear, for a while I would stare at my phone
A
Just to see your name
E B
But now that it’s there, I don’t really know what to say
(Pre-Chorus)
C#m A
I know you, you’re like this
E Emaj7
When shit don’t go your way you needed me to fix it
C#m A
And like me, I did
E Emaj7
But I ran out of every reason
(Chorus)
C#m A
Now suddenly you’re asking for it back
E Emaj7
Could you tell me, where’d you get the nerve?
C#m A
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
E B
But I don’t really care how bad it hurts
C#m A
When you broke me first
E Emaj7
You broke me first
(Bridge)
C#m A
What did you think would happen?
E Emaj7
What did you think would happen?
C#m A
I’ll never let you have it
E Emaj7
What did you think would happen?
(Chorus)
C#m A
Now suddenly you’re asking for it back
E Emaj7
Could you tell me, where’d you get the nerve?
C#m A
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
E B
But I don’t really care how bad it hurts
C#m A
When you broke me first
E Emaj7 C#m A
You broke me first (You broke me first)
E Emaj7
You broke me first, ooh oh
Maybe you don’t like talking too much about yourself
But you should have told me
That you were thinking ’bout someone else
You’re drunk at a party
Or maybe it’s just that your car broke down
Or your phone’s been off for a couple of months
So you’re calling me now
I know you, you’re like this
When shit don’t go your way you needed me to fix it
And like me, I did
But I ran out of every reason
Now suddenly you’re asking for it back
Could you tell me, where’d you get the nerve?
Yeah, you could say you miss all that we had
But I don’t really care how bad it hurts
When you broke me first
You broke me first, oh
Took a while, was in denial when I first heard
That you moved on quicker than I could’ve ever

But now that it’s there, I don’t really know what to say
I know you, you’re like this

When you broke me first
You broke me first, oh
