[Intro]
D  Em  D/F#  G
D  Em  D/F#  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
D    Em          D/F#
I  held her close to me
      G       A/G     F#m7 Bm7
Coz I know she breaks so easily
Gmaj9            D/F#
       And then I told her
 Em          D/F#         G
But I knew no matter how I tried to console her
D           Em                  D/F#
  She'd just do the best she could
     G       A/G     F#m7    Bm7            Cadd9
But there are times the best is no damn good
    A7sus                     D       Em
And no matter    how you try       to be kind
D/F#                  F#sus F           Bm7
There's always still a part of you you'll leave behind
   Esus        E7
When it falls apart
 
 
[Chorus]
      G           D/F#    Em     A          D
There's no easy   way to break somebody's  heart
 
 
[Interlude]
D  Em  D/F#  G
 
 
[Verse 2]
      D    Em          D/F#
I lied     and told her she'll be fine
      G       A/G     F#m7 Bm7
Though we both knew it was just a lie
Gmaj9            D/F#
       I had to do it
 Em          D/F#         G
Coz I'd have said anything to help me get  through it
D        Em                  D/F#
    Then she reached out for my hand
       G       A/G     F#m7    Bm7              Cadd9
And her simple touch was more than I could stand
    A7sus                     D       Em
And I had to    turn  away       coz I knew
D/F#                  F#sus F           Bm7
All the hurt that she was feeling, I was feeling too
     Esus        E7
Coz when it falls apart
 
 [Chorus]
      G           D/F#    Em     A          D
There's no easy   way to break somebody's  heart
 
 
[Bridge]
Bb          Gm
     She could've gotten angry
Eb          Bb/D                 Cm
   And made me feel like a guilty child
Cm    Bb/D     Eb/G     F       Bb
But I realized that never was her style
C#                Bbm
     I wanted her to hurt me
        F#         C#/F         Ebm
And not treat me like a   friend
     Ebm                  C#/F
I wanted her to say "There'd be someday
         F#                         Cm    F      Bb
I'd come crawling on my knees to ask her back again"
       Am            D             G
But she acted like a lady till the end
A
    Oh, what a lady...
 
[Verse 3]
D    Em                       D/F#
     I thought that she'd break down
         G       A/G     F#m7 Bm7   Cadd9
But she smiled at me and never made a sound
  A7sus                D     Em
And I guess she understood... in her way
      D/F#              F#sus  F#     Bm
Coz her silence told me everything she could not say
           Esus  E7
When it falls apart
 
 
[Chorus]
              Em  D/F#    G
Well, there's just no easy way
       Bb   Am     Gm
There's just no easy way
          Em    D/F#  A
There's no easy way to break... somebody's heart...
 
 
[Outro]
D  Em  D/F# G  A B
