Before It Breaks (Live)

[00:02.57] (I digress)
[00:07.06] (I think of Elton every time I sit down at a piano, to this day)
[00:09.51] (That's what- that's what heroes are all about)
[00:11.32]
[00:25.13] Around here, it's the hardest time of year
[00:30.94] Waking up, the days are even gone
[00:37.06] Will the collar of my coat
[00:39.79] Help me? Cannot help the cold
[00:43.28] Will the raindrops sting my eyes?
[00:45.90] I keep them closed
[00:49.89] I'm feelin' no pain
[00:52.96] I'm a little lonely and my quietest friend
[00:58.14] Have I the moonlight? Have I let you in?
[01:03.39] Say it ain't so, say I'm happy again
[01:09.29] Say it's over, say I'm dreaming
[01:13.93] Say I'm better than you left me
[01:17.40] Say you're sorry, I can take it
[01:23.06] Say you'll wait, say you won't
[01:27.49] You love me or you don't
[01:30.87] I can make my own mistakes
[01:36.89] And let it bend before it breaks
[01:40.10]
[01:52.74] I'm all right, don't I seem to be?
[01:57.50] Aren't I swinging on the stars?
[02:00.51] Don't I wear 'em on my sleeve?
[02:03.79] When you're looking for a crossroads
[02:06.91] It happens every day
[02:10.02] And whichever way you turn
[02:12.90] I gotta turn the other way
[02:17.63] And say it's over, say I'm dreaming
[02:22.45] Say I'm better than you left me
[02:26.10] Say you're sorry, I can take it
[02:31.32] Say you'll wait, say you won't
[02:35.52] Say you love me, say you don't
[02:39.35] I can make my own mistakes
[02:44.32] Learn to let it bend before it breaks
[02:54.42]
[03:27.96] Say it's over, say I'm dreaming
[03:32.90] Say I'm better than you left me
[03:36.69] Say you're sorry, I can take it
[03:42.15] Say you'll wait, say you won't
[03:46.98] You love me or you don't
[03:50.49] I can make my own mistakes
[03:57.25] Let it bend before it breaks
[04:01.44]
