Standard

 
1st verse 
        Am
Let me hold you
         C
For the last time
         F                    F
It's the last chance to feel again
        Am
But you broke me
        C           F      Dm
Now I can't feel anything
       Am
When I love you,
        C
It's so untrue
       F                    F
I can't even convince myself
          Am
When I'm speaking,
         C                F       Dm
It's the voice of someone else


Pre-chorus :
      F -   G- Am
Oh it tears me up
  F    -      G   -      Em
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
  F  -      G   -          Em            F              (F)
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay


Chorus :
          Dm              Am
You can't play on broken strings
          C       G 
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     
Oh the truth hurts
    Am  
And lies worse
C                 G
How can I give anymore
       Dm                  Am        G          G
When I love you a little less than before



2nd verse :
        Am     C
Oh what are we doing
        F           F
We are turning into dust
        Am            C      F    Dm
Playing house in the ruins of us
        Am               Am
Running back through the fire
             F               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



Pre-chorus :
      F -   G- Am
Oh it tears me up
  F    -      G   -      Em
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
  F  -      G   -          Em            F              (F)
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay



Chorus :

When there's nothing left to save
          F                 Am 
It's like chasing the very last train
        C                  Em>let ring
When we both know it's too late (too late)

It's the last chance to feel again
