Before It Breaks (Live At Benaroya Hall With The Seattle Symphony)

[00:02.55] (I digress)
[00:07.09] (I think of Elton every time I sit down at a piano, to this day)
[00:09.53] (That's what- that's what heroes are all about)
[00:11.32]
[00:25.12] Around here, it's the hardest time of year
[00:30.93] Waking up, the days are even gone
[00:37.08] Will the collar of my coat
[00:39.73] Help me? Cannot help the cold
[00:43.20] Will the raindrops sting my eyes?
[00:45.92] I keep them closed
[00:49.83] I'm feelin' no pain
[00:52.98] I'm a little lonely and my quietest friend
[00:58.17] Have I the moonlight? Have I let you in?
[01:03.35] 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
[01:17.47] Say you're sorry, I can take it
[01:23.06] Say you'll wait, say you won't
[01:27.45] You love me or you don't
[01:30.83] I can make my own mistakes
[01:36.85] 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?
[02:00.56] Don't I wear 'em on my sleeve?
[02:03.77] When you're looking for a crossroads
[02:06.91] It happens every day
[02:10.08] And whichever way you turn
[02:12.95] I gotta turn the other way
[02:17.61] And say it's over, say I'm dreaming
[02:22.43] Say I'm better than you left me
[02:26.11] Say you're sorry, I can take it
[02:31.37] Say you'll wait, say you won't
[02:35.59] Say you love me, say you don't
[02:39.39] I can make my own mistakes
[02:44.39] Learn to let it bend before it breaks
[02:54.42]
[03:27.92] Say it's over, say I'm dreaming
[03:32.93] Say I'm better than you left me
[03:36.68] Say you're sorry, I can take it
[03:42.15] Say you'll wait, say you won't
[03:46.94] You love me or you don't
[03:50.40] I can make my own mistakes
[03:57.29] Let it bend before it breaks
[04:01.42]
