Em7                    D               G    Cadd9
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
     Em7                   D               G    Cadd9
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in 
    Em7             D           G  Cadd9
Cos I got time while she got freedom
    Em7                      D               G    Cadd9
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even

Her best days will be some of my worst

  She finally met a man thats gonna put her first
      Em7                 D          G   Cadd9
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
Em7                          D              G    Cadd9
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Cadd9          G                     D                   Em7
      What am I sposed to do when the best part of me was always you
Cadd9          G                      D                 Em7
      What am I sposed to say when I'm all choked up and your ok
Cadd9  G          D   Em7
    I'm falling to pieces
Cadd9  G          D   Em7
    I'm falling to pieces 
 
Em7  D  G  Cadd9
 
 
[Verse]
 
     Em7                  D           G    Cadd9
They say bad things happen for a reason 
    Em7                D                G    Cadd9
But nowise words gonna stop the bleeding
    Em7                 D             G  Cadd9
Cos she's moved on while I'm still grieving 
    Em7                      D              G  Cadd9
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven

Cadd9          G                      D                 Em7

You took your suitcase, I took the blame. 
        E m7                       D           G Cadd9
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh

Cos you left me with no love, no love to my name.

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing

You guys... Jeez. Capo 3 is right, Cadd9 is right, and figure out the damn strumming pattern on your own. Just listen to the song and start playing. You'll find something that works. It doesn't have to be the same way they play it
