Break Even from Naked by Billy Dettmer

G When the wind comes to meet you, find you standing on the hill
With your coat all in tatters may it keep you warm until
You just break C even It’s D all you gotta do Just break G even
When the rain falls like nails, tears rolling down your face
May your coat hold together may it be your saving grace
Till you break even It’s all you gotta do Just break even

Everybody wants to Em win and sometimes they C can
But most of the women and most of the men
Just break C even It’s all D they gotta do Just break G even
It’s all D they gotta do

It’s all there before you and you look but you can’t see
No matter what they tell you, nothing comes for free
You just break even it’s all that you can do to just break even
When you think you’ve got it covered, you think you’ve got it made
You find the clouds come heavy and they rain on your parade
You just break even it’s all that you can do to just break even

Everybody wants to Em win and sometimes they C can
But most of the women and most of the men
Just break C even It’s all D they gotta do Just break G even
It’s all D they gotta do

But someday Bm soon the clouds might C clear
Listen Bm closely you just might C hear
Someday Bm soon when your ship comes C in
When you think it’s Am lost, you just might D win

When you’re all on your own and you’re feeling very small
When you’re waiting there in silence I might give you a call
And you’ll break even; it’s all you gotta do, just break even
If you think about the millions who’ve stood here where you stand
Till someone stood beside them and took them by the hand
You don’t have to win, just break even
You won’t always win but you might break even
