[Bbm]
Let me hold you for the last time, it's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me, now I can't feel anything
When I love you, I'm so untrue, I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking, it's [Db] the voice of someone
[Gb] else
Woah, it [Ab] tears [Bbm] me up, [Gb] I try to [Ab] hold on but [Fm] it hurts too much
[Gb] I try to [Ab] forgive but [Fm] it's not enough [Gb] to make it all okay
[Ab] [F] You [Ebm] can't pay your broken [Bbm] strings, you [Db] can't feel [Ab] anything
That [Ebm] your heart don't want to [Bbm] feel, I [Db] can't tell you something that [Ab] ain't real
Oh, [Gb] the truth hurts, [Bbm] the lies worse, [Db]
I cannot give [Ab] anymore
When [Ebm] I love you a little [Bbm] less than [Ab]
before
Oh, [Db] what are we doing?
We [Bbm] are turning into dust
Laying house in the ruins of our house
Running back through the fire when [Gb] there's nothing left to say
It's [Bbm] like chasing the very [Db] last train when it's [Gb] too late, too late
Oh, it [Ab] tears [Bbm] me up, [Gb] I try to [Ab] hold on but [Fm] it hurts too much
[Gb] I try to [Ab] forgive but [Fm] it's not enough [Gb] to make it all okay
[Fm] You [Ebm] can't pay your broken [Bbm] strings, you [Db] can't feel [Ab] anything
That your [Ebm]
heart don't want to [Bbm] feel, I [Db] can't tell you something that [Ab] ain't real
Oh, [Gb] the truth hurts, [Bbm] the lies worse, [Db]
I cannot give [Ab] anymore
When [Ebm] I love you a little [Bbm] less than [Ab]
before
Oh, [Gb] we're running through [Bbm] the fire when [Db] there's nothing left to [Gb] say
It's like chasing the very [Bbm] last train when [Db] we both know it's [Fm] too late
You [Ebm] can't play on broken [Bbm]
strings, you [Db] can't feel [Ab]
anything
That your [Ebm] heart don't want to [Bbm]
feel, I [Db] can't tell you something that [Ab] ain't real
[Gb] Oh, the truth hurts, [Bbm] the lies worse, [Db] I cannot give [Ab] anymore
When [Ebm] I love you a little [Bbm]
less than [Ab] before
A little [Ebm] [Bbm]
less than [Ab] before
[Bbm] Hold you for [Db] the last time, [Ab] it's the last chance to feel [Gb] again
[G]
