Broken strings (video) (intro)

Am C

1. Let me hold you for the last time

F

it's the last chance to feel again,

Am C F

but you broke me, now I can't feel anything.

Am C

When I love you, it's so untrue,

F

I can't even convince myself

Am C F

when I'm speaking, it's the voice of someone else.

F G Am F G Em

Oh, it tears me up, I try to hold on, but it hurts too much,

F G Em F

I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay.

Dm Am C G

You can't play on broken strings, you can't feel anything

Dm Am

that your heart don't want to feel,

C G

I can't tell you something that ain't real.

F Am C G

Oh, the truth hurts and lies worse, how can I give anymore,

Dm Am G

when I love you a little less than before ?

Am C

3. Oh, what are we doing ?

F

We are turning into dust,

Am C F

playing house in the ruins of us.

Am C

Running back through the fire.

F

when there's nothing left to save,

Am C F Dm

it's like chasing the very last train, when it's too late, too late.

F G Am F G Em

Oh, it tears me up, I try to hold on, but it hurts too much,

F G Em F

I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay.

Dm Am C G

You can't play on broken strings, you can't feel anything

Dm Am

that your heart don't want to feel,

C G

I can't tell you something that ain't real.

F Am C G

Oh, the truth hurts and lies worse, how can I give anymore,

Dm Am G

when I love you a little less than before ?

F Am

But we're running through the fire,

C Dm

when there's nothing left to save.

F Am

It's like chasing the very last train,

C Em Dm

when we both know it's too late (too late).

Dm Am G

+ CHORUS + Oh, when I love you a little less than before.

Am C

Let me hold you for the last time,

Dm F

it's the last chance to feel again.
