[Intro]
C G Am F
 
[Verse 1]
           C
There were nights I sat in the dark alone
       G
With a heart so heavy it felt like stone
          Am
Trying to smile when I was falling apart
F
Holding together a shattered heart
      C
I had pain I never knew how to save
     G
So I carried it deeper every day
        Am
And the more I fought just to stay okay
            F
The more it felt like I was slipping away
 
[Pre-Chorus]
             C
Bills on the table, fear in my chest
         G
Too much pressure, too little rest
                  Am
Kept telling everybody I'd be fine
      F
While quietly losing my mind
 
[Chorus]
                       C
And I swear there were moments I was done
             G
Too tired to fight, too weak to run
                 Am
But right when I thought I'd hit the end
    F
God stepped in again
               C
When I had no strength left in these hands
                G
When I couldn't even understand
                Am
How I was still breathing through the ache
              F                      C
That's when I knew God didn't let me break
                             G
When life pushed hard and my faith got faint
                    Am
When I was bent but not erased
F                 C
God didn't let me break
                  G
God didn't let me fall
                           Am
When I had nothing left at all
 
He held the pieces, threw it all
F                 C
God didn't let me break
 
[Verse 2]
                                   G
There were mornings I could barely rise
                            Am
With silent tears behind my eyes
                             F
Trying to pray with an empty soul
                           C
Asking God just to make me whole
 
I wore my hurt like a hidden chain
G
 Learned how to laugh while carrying pain
Am
 And nobody knew how close I came
   F
To giving up on everything
               C
But grace kept showing up somehow
            G
Even when I couldn't feel it then
           Am
And mercy stayed when I was weak
              F
When I didn't have a prayer to speak
                         C
I should've folded under all that weight
                       G
I should've drowned in all that pain
                      Am
But somehow through every scar I faced
    F
God didn't let me break
 
[Chorus]
              C
When I had no words left I could say
            G
And no more tears left I could pray
           Am
When all I had was hurt and faith
              F
That's when I knew God didn't let me break
                             G
When life pushed hard and my faith got faint
                    Am
When I was bent but not erased
F                 C
God didn't let me break
                  G
God didn't let me fall
                           Am
When I had nothing left at all
                             F
He held the pieces, threw it all
                  C
God didn't let me break
 
[Bridge]
C
I've been bruised, I've been worn
                          G
I've been lost, I've been torn
 
I've had nights I couldn't sleep
                   Am
And battles buried deep
 
But every time I almost gave in
            F
God reached down and pulled me in
           C
When I was weak
              G
We stayed the same
               Am
That's why I'm here
                 F
That's why I can say
 
[Post-Chorus]
              C
If I'm still standing
             G
It's only by grace
             Am
If I'm still breathing
          F                    C
It's only because He carried me
 
He held me
           G
He carried me
                Am
When I couldn't carry myself
 
[Chorus]
F                    C
Oh God didn't let me break
                             G
When life pushed hard and my faith got faint
                    Am
When I was bent but not erased
F                 C
God didn't let me break
                 G
God didn't let me fall
                           Am
When I had nothing left at all
                             F
He held the pieces, threw it all
                  C
God didn't let me break
 
[Outro]
C
When the pressure should have taken me
G
 And all the hurt was breaking me
Am
His hand was still making a way
F                 C
God didn't let me break
G                 Am
God didn't let me break
F                   C
No He didn't let me break
 
So if you're tired
G
If you're hurting
       Am
If you feel like life is trying to tear you apart
F
Hold on
                 C            G
Because the same God who kept me
             Am
Can keep you too
F                 C
God didn't let me break
