Don't Break Me is the second song of the series, heard in the episode "Sunny Side Up", while Milo, Zack, and Melissa work on their science project in which they try to create a structure which could save an egg from breaking after it's dropped from the gym's roof.
Lyrics[]
- Lines displayed in orange are only heard in the full version.
You best be careful how you handle me
I'm not as sturdy as you think
You're too in touch with your adrenal gland, you see
I don't wanna be your weakest link
Hey, (Hey!) don't break me
Don't wanna crack in my façade
Keep your wild abandon to yourself
Hey, (Hey!) don't break me
Don't wanna be your lightning rod
Like the view just fine here from the shelf
So baby, please don't break me
Don't break me, can I get an amen
Couldn't put me back together again
With all your horses and all your men
It's a puzzle that they can't comprehend
So, I'm fractured, well I just don't mend
But I don't want this to be the end
I'm down on my knees
So, baby, baby, please don't break me
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
Please don't break me
(Hey!)
Ohhh-ooh-hh!
(Hey!)
Please don't break me
(Hey!)
Haaa!
(Hey!)
Please don't break me
(Hey!)
Mmm

Chords[]
Note that the information and chord chart below was created by an editor.
If you find an error you may correct it or post a message to the editor who uploaded the chart on their message board and it will be addressed.
I found this one to be tricky because of the pauses when singing the lyrics. I'm pretty sure I have the chord changes in the right place. The main thing is the chords go, Em 2 3 4, D 2 3 4, Em 2 3 4, D 2 3 4, ext. through the whole song except For the G, B7 part.
I'm not 100% sure about the B7. Strict adherence to the key of E minor says it should be Bm, but that doesn't sound right.
Also, to play this the way it's heard in the episode you need to tune to D. (I've posted it in standard tuning) and play the D a whole step down from the Em rather than almost an octave higher.
On keys the left hand is playing the Em and D chords while the right is playing the following notes;
E,
B, A,
D, E,
B, A, G, F#, D,
E,
B, A,
D, E,
B, A, G, F#, D,
E, over and over again.
Chord chart for guitar;
Due to the way wikis display text it is necessary to convert chord charts to an image so the chords will line up above the text where the chords occur.
These images often display poorly on wiki pages.
If you open the image, choose "See full-size image" and then save it to your computer, you can print the chart. It will print at a much higher resolution than what appears here.
Trivia[]
- The second verse, as heard in the full version, references the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty, specifically the lyrics "All the king's horses and all the king's men / Couldn't put Humpty together again." The titular character from this nursery rhyme is an anthropomorphic egg, which likely makes this reference intentional due to the song being about keeping an egg whole after a great fall for a school project.
