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


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


Chorus :
D#m D#m A#m A#m
You can't play on broken strings
C# C# G# G#
You can't feel anything
D#m D#m A#m A#m
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
A#m A#m
And lies worse
C# C# G# G#
How can I give anymore
D#m D#m A#m A#m G# G# G# G#
When I love you a little less than before



2nd verse :
A#m A#m C# C#
Oh what are we doing
F# F# F# F#
We are turning into dust
A#m A#m C# C# F# F# D#m D#m
Playing house in the ruins of us
A#m A#m A#m A#m
Running back through the fire
F# F# F# F#
When there's nothing left to save
A#m A#m C# C# F# F# D#m D#m
It's like chasing the very last train when it's too late



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



Chorus :
D#m D#m A#m A#m
You can't play on broken strings
C# C# G# G#
You can't feel anything
D#m D#m A#m A#m
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
A#m A#m
And lies worse
C# C# G# G#
How can I give anymore
D#m D#m A#m A#m G# G# G# G#
When I love you a little less than before



Bridge :
F# F# A#m A#m
But we're running through the fire
C# C# F# F#
When there's nothing left to save
F# F# A#m A#m
It's like chasing the very last train
C# C# Fm Fm>let ring
When we both know it's too late (too late)
