verse (with riff):
D          C
I'm on the chopping block
         D               C
chopping off my stopping thought
D              C
self-doubt and selfism 
         D                      C
were the cheapest things I ever bought
         D            Am7
when you say it's love
               D            Am7
d'you mean the back of love?
         D            Am7
when you say it's love
               D            Am7
d'you mean the back of love?

D            Cadd9       D Cadd9   
breaking the back of love

taking advantage of
D            Cadd9       D Cadd9
breaking the back of love

D                C
easier said than done you said
              D            C
but it's more difficult to say
     D                    C
with eyes bigger than our bellies
        D                     C
we want to but we can't look away
              D          Am7
what were you thinking of
         D              Am7
when you dreamt that up?
              D          Am7
what were you thinking of
         D              Am7
when you dreamt that up?

               D       Em Bm
when you're surrounded by
  D               Em    Bm
a simple chain of events
 D        Em Bm
eventually
       D           Em       Bm
you'll shack those shackles off

verse (with intro riff):
D                 C
we can't tell our left from right
       D              C
but we know we love extremes
D                         C
getting to grips with the ups and downs
                D            C
because there's nothing in between
         D              Am7
when you say that's love
               D            Am7
d'you mean the back of love?
         D              Am7

breaking the back of love
     C       E       D
breaking the back of love
