Verse 1 
  
B                  E  
Woke up this morning  
      E          B   
And I heard the news  
B           F#         E      B   
I know the pain of a heartbreak  
B             E 
I don?t have answers   
      E         G#m  
And neither do you  
         F#           E       B   
I know the pain of a heartbreak  

  
               E      B   
This isn?t easy  
              G#m     F#   
This isn?t clear  
                       E      B  
And you don?t need Jesus  
             G#m    F#   
Til you?re here  
           E              B  
Then confusion and the doubts you had  
G#m          F#  
Up and walk away  
          E   B     G#m  
They walk away  
   F#            E  B  G#m  F#  
When a heart breaks  

Verse 2 
  
I heard the doctor  
But what did he say  
I knew I was fine about this time yesterday  
I don?t need answers  
I just need some peace  
I just need someone who could help me get some sleep  
Who could help me get some sleep  

Chorus 2 
  
This isn?t easy  
This isn?t clear  
And you don?t need Jesus  
Til you?re here  
Then confusion and the doubts you had  
Up and walk away  
They walk away  
When a heart breaks  

This isn?t easy  
This isn?t clear  
And you don?t need Jesus  
Til you?re here  
Then confusion and the doubts you had  
Up and walk away  
They walk away  
When a heart breaks
