[Verse 1]
 
Em                      Dsus4         G   Am7
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
     Em                     Dsus4          G   Am7
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
    Em               Dsus4       G Am7
Cos I got time while she got freedom
    Em                        Dsus4            G   Am7
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    Em                Dsus4      G      Am7
Her best days will be some of my worst
    Em             Dsus4           G         Am7
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
      Em                    Dsus4     G    Am7
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
    Em                        Dsus4         G         Am7
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C         G                       D                   Em
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you, and
C         G                        D                  Em
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're OK, yeah
C   G          D  Em
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
C   G          D  Em
I'm falling to pieces
 
 
[Interlude 1]
 
Em  Dsus4   G  Am7
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
     Em                    Dsus4       G   Am7
They say bad things happen for a reason
    Em                  Dsus4           G    Am7
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding, no
    Em                   Dsus4        G      Am7
Cos she's moved on while I'm still grieving
    Em                        Dsus4              G   Am7
And when a heart breaks no it don't break even (even, no)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C              G                       D                   Em
And what am I gonna to do when the best part of me was always you, and
C         G                        D                  Em
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're OK
C   G          D  Em   C
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
G              D  Em
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
C   G          D  Em
I'm falling to pieces
C   G          D  Em
I'm falling to pieces

[Bridge]
 
        Em                         D/F#
You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
G                   Cmaj7
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
        Em                  D/F#             G   Cmaj7
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh
        Cmaj7
Cos you left me with no love, and no love to my name
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
Em               Dsus4                 G   Am7
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
     Em              Dsus4                G   Am7
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
    Em         Dsus4             G Am7
Cos I got time while she got freedom
    Em                   Dsus4
Cos when a heart breaks, no, it don't break;
G
No, it don't break
       Am7           C
No, it don't break even!

C         G                        D                  Em
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're OK
C   G          D  Em   C
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
G              D  Em
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
C   G          D  Em
I'm falling to pieces
C   G          D  Em
I'm falling to pieces

It don't break even, no, no -  oh
         Cmaj7  G      Dadd4  Em
It don't break even, no
         Cmaj7  G         Dadd4  Em
It don't break even, no - oh
