[Intro]
G


[Verse 1]
     G                            C
Your eyes tonight are little pins looking for a friend
                          G
And tell a story locked inside of you
     G                              C
Your lips provide a different spin, one to be believed
                           G
If we were strangers on an avenue


[Chorus 1]
       D
You're running riot in the still
D
Choking on your high class pill
D
Staggering through the grist mill
              C                            Em
Cuz you're trying to medicate your only spark
                 Am  C                        G
Look out for the wind and the breakers in the dark


[Verse 2]
    G                              C
You laugh about the prickly things popping your ballons
                                   G
Take time for the silly games that make you whole
        G                                       C
You say them's the breaks and them's the rules, part of the suspense
                                  G
When you're just a button on a remote control


[Chorus 2]
       D
You're standing tall but walking death
D
Stronger than a horse's breath
D
Nothing but the best I tell ya
C                               Em
Crying makes you fodder for the sharks
                 Am           C
Look out for the fins and the breakers in the dark


[Interlude]
Em   G   C       Am  G
Em   G   C       Am  Em  G


[Chorus 3]
D
Chewing on your wire cage
       D
It's a pity someone that your age
      D
Ain't nothing but a rager
        C                                Em
Who got left behind when Noah closed the ark
                 Am   C                        G    Bm   C   Am   Em   Em/D#   Dsus4
Look out for the bends and the breakers in the dark
D               G    Bm   C   Am   Em   Em/D#   Dsus4
Breakers in the dark,
D               Em   G   C        G
Breakers in the dark
D               Em   G   C        G
Breakers in the dark
D               Em   G   C        G
Breakers in the dark
D               Em   G   C        G
Breakers in the dark
D               Em   G   C        G
Breakers in the dark
D               Em   G   C        G
Breakers in the dark
D               Em   G   C        G
Breakers in the dark
D               G
