Van Morrison - Not Supposed to Break Down: chords

                             Em A
You're not supposed to be human
                               D
You're not supposed to really feel
                             Em A
Not supposed to get involved with
                     D Bm
Anything completely real
                  F#m
Fifteen families starving
G     A                 D
All around the corner block
Bm            F#m
Here we're standing so alone
      G  A           D
Just like Gibraltar Rock

Chorus:
D                 Em
Not supposed to break down
A                        D
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the dirt
Em
Keep listening to the hurt
A                   D
You'll be safe and sound

Supposed to be super human
Cover everything
Just like a bird
Cover an egg with its wing
And knowing there's nothing sacred
And what is the use
No point trying to find
What is worth, what is true

Chorus:
Not supposed to break down (No)
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Listen to the dirt
And you'll be safe and sound
You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Listen to the dirt
You'll be safe and sound

A fool and his mainline connection
Bypass going to the well
But that doesn't matter anymore
And I'm sure that we can tell
Who's a puppet on a string
And who really holds the glove
But it ain't up to you and me
It's up to the Lord above

Chorus:
You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Keep on listening to the dirt
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Listen to the dirt
I'll bet you'll be safe and sound

And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
