Am
Let me hold you
Am/C
For the last time
Am/F Am/F
It's the last chance to feel again
Am
But you broke me
Am/C Am/F Am/F
Now I can't feel anything
Am
When I love you, it's so untrue
F
I can't even convince myself
Am
When I'm speaking,
C F Dm
It's the voice of someone else
F G Am
Oh it tears me up
F G Em
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
F G Em
I try to forgive, but it's not enough
F Em
to make it all okay
Dm Am
You can't play on broken strings
C G
You can't feel anything
Dm Am
that your heart don't want to feel
C G
I can't tell you something that ain't real
F
Oh the truth hurts
Am
And lies worse
C G
How can I give anymore
Dm Am
When I love you a little less
G
than before
Am C
Oh what are we doing
F
We are turning into dust
Am C F Dm
Playing house in the ruins of us
Am C
Running back through the fire
F
When there's nothing left to save
Am C
It's like chasing the very last train
F Dm
when it's too late
F G Am
Oh it tears me up
F G Em
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
F G Em
I try to forgive, but it's not enough
F Em
to make it all okay
Dm Am
You can't play on broken strings
C G
You can't feel anything
Dm Am
that your heart don't want to feel
C G
I can't tell you something that ain't real
F
Oh the truth hurts
Am
And lies worse
C G
How can I give anymore
Dm Am
When I love you a little less
G
than before
F Am
But we're running through the fire
C F
When there's nothing left to save
F Am
It's like chasing the very last train
C Em
When we both know it's too late (too late)
Dm Am
You can't play on broken strings
C G
You can't feel anything
Dm Am
that your heart don't want to feel
C G
I can't tell you something that ain't real
F
Oh the truth hurts
