[F#]
I swore the days were over,
[G#m] recording [F#] empty [B] dreams
I [D#m] worshipped [F#] at the altar,
[G#m] losing [B] everything
And [D#m] the God [F#] I held together, [G#m] is losing [C#] all [B] its shape
And in [F#] my head you look [D#m] so gorgeous, [B] it's keeping me [F#] awake
[D#m] There's a scar [F#] on my soul, [B] so let me [F#] down easy
[B] Break my heart [F#]
sweetly, [D#m] like you [F#]
[B] always do
I guess [F#] I can't let go, till you [B] wreck me [F#] completely
[B] Break [F#] my [C#] heart sweetly, [B] drape me [F#] in blue
[C#] [F#]
[D#m] [B]
[F#]
[D#m] I was never [F#] scared of nothing,
[G#m] thought I [B] had a home
[D#m] Life went [F#] and broke me open, [G#m] so I carried [B] it along
I'm [D#m] finding all this [F#] well worn sadness, [G#m] I never [F#] knew [B] I kept
And I still [F#] chase you in [D#m] the heartache, [B] every time you [F#] take a step
There's [D#m] a scar [F#] on my soul, [B] so let me [F#] down easy
[B] Break my [F#] heart sweetly, like you [B] always do
I guess I [F#] can't let go, [B] till you wreck me [F#] completely
Break my [C#] heart sweetly, [B] drape me [F#] in blue
[C#] [F#]

[D#] I swore the [G] [F#] days were over,
[G#m] recording [Bm] empty [F#] [B] dreams
[F#] I worshipped at the altar,
[G#m] losing [B] everything
And you had [D#m] a halo [F#] made of diamonds,
[G#m] resting on [B] your head
I should be [F#] dealing with my [D#m] demons, but I'm [B] dodging them [F#] instead
There's a scar on my soul, [B] so let me [F#] down easy
Break my heart sweetly, [D#m] like you [F#]
[B] always do
I guess [F#] I can't let go, till [B] you wreck me [F#] completely
[B] Break my [C#] heart sweetly,
[B] drape me [F#] in blue
