Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in

Ebmaj7   Bb                           F             Gm7
   What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're OK, yeah

They say bad things happen for a reason 
    Gm            Fsus4                  Bb   Cm7
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
       Gm             Fsus4               Bb   Cm7
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving

And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no
