Am Am
Let me hold you
C C
For the last time
F F
It's the last chance to feel again
Am Am
But you broke me
C C F F Dm Dm
Now I can't feel anything
Am Am
When I love you,
C C
It's so untrue
F F
I can't even convince myself
Am Am
When I'm speaking,
C C F F Dm Dm
It's the voice of someone else

F F G G Am Am
Oh it tears me up
F F G G Em Em
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
F F G G Em Em F F C C
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

Dm Dm Am Am
You can't play on broken strings
C C G G
You can't feel anything
Dm Dm Am Am
That your heart don't want to feel
C C G G
I can't tell you something that ain't real
F F
Oh the truth hurts
Am Am
And lies worse
C C G G
How can I give anymore
Dm Dm Am Am G G
When I love you a little less than before

Am Am C C
Oh what are we doing
F F
We are turning into dust
Am Am C C F F Dm Dm
Playing house in the ruins of us
Am Am C C
Running back through the fire
F F
When there's nothing left to save
Am Am C C F F Dm Dm
It's like chasing the very last train when it's too late

F F G G Am Am
Oh it tears me up
F F G G Em Em
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
F F G G Em Em F F C C
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

Dm Dm Am Am
You can't play on broken strings
C C G G
You can't feel anything
Dm Dm Am Am
That your heart don't want to feel
C C G G
I can't tell you something that ain't real
F F
Oh the truth hurts
Am Am
And lies worse
C C G G
How can I give anymore
Dm Dm Am Am G G
When I love you a little less than before

Am Am C C
But we're running through the fire
F F
When there's nothing left to save
Am Am C C
It's like chasing the very last train
F F Dm Dm
When we both know it's too late (too late)

Dm Dm Am Am
You can't play on broken strings
C C G G
You can't feel anything
Dm Dm Am Am
That your heart don't want to feel
C C G G
I can't tell you something that ain't real
F F
Well the truth hurts
Am Am
And lies worse
C C G G
How can I give anymore
Dm Dm Am Am G G
When I love you a little less than before
Dm Dm Am Am G G
Oh when I love you a little less than before

Am Am C C
Let me hold you for the last time
F F Dm Dm
It's the last chance to feel again
