[Verse 1]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

      Gb    Ab Bbm
Oh it tears me up
  Gb          Ab         Fm
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
  Gb        Ab             Fm            Gb              Db
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

      Gb    Ab Bbm
Oh it tears me up
  Gb          Ab         Fm
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
  Gb        Ab             Fm            Gb              Db
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 3]

          Bbm                 Db
But we're running through the fire
             Gb
When there's nothing left to save
          Bbm                   Db
It's like chasing the very last train
        Gb                       Ebm
When we both know it's too late (too late)


[Chorus]

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


[Outro]

       Bbm              Db
Let me hold you for the last time
         Gb                   Ebm
It's the last chance to feel again
