        Am      
 Let me hold you
         C        
 For the last time
          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                         
 I can't even convince myself
          Am       
 When I'm speaking,
          C                F   Dm 
 It's the voice of someone else
 
       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              C 
 I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay
 
           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      
 When I love you a little less than before
 
         Am     C    
 Oh what are we doing
        F                
 We are turning into dust
         Am           C        F Dm 
 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
 
       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               C 
 I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay
 
           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     
 When I love you a little less than before
 
           Am                  C   
 But we're running through the fire
              F                   
 When there's nothing left to save
           Am                    C    
 It's like chasing the very last train
         F                        Dm       
 When we both know it's too late (too late)
 
           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            
 Well the truth hurts
     Am        
 And lies worse
 C                 G   
 How can I give anymore
        Dm                Am       G      
 When I love you a little less than before
        Dm                Am         G       
 Oh when I love you a little less than before
 
        Am              C         
 Let me hold you for the last time
          F                   Dm   
 It's the last chance to feel again
