Intro G Em X2 

                    G 
You try and try to erase  
                         Em 
That lonely look on your face  
                   G 
You try and try to pretend  
                    Em 
Soon it's all gonna end  
                   C 
You cry a few more tears  
                D 
Into a few more beers  
C                 D 
The days turn to weeks  
                         G 
And the weeks feel like years  

                            G 
That's what breaking hearts do  
                            Em 
That's what breaking hearts do  
                       C 
They cause you so much pain  
            C 
Make you go insane  
                            G 
That's what breaking hearts do  

                       G 
Every time you try to walk  
                Em 
In circles you walk  
                      G 
Every time you try to talk  
                Em 
In circles you talk  
                 C 
You can't think straight  
                    D 
Your mind starts to spin  
                     C 
You can try to fight it  
                       D 
But you know you can't win  


D 
Feel like your hands are tied  
C                        G 
Bound up, strapped down, busted inside  
D       
Don't have the will to find your way  
C                                   G 
And you don't think you can take it even one more day  


Solo 

                               G 
They keep you looking out your window  
                            Em 
They keep you checking your phone  
                         C 
You hear a sound at your door  
                     D 
You walk across that floor  
                           G 
But you're still there all alone  

                            G 
That's what breaking hearts do  
                            Em 
That's what breaking hearts do  
                       C 
They cause you so much pain  
            D 
Make you go insane  
                            G 
That's what breaking hearts do  
  
                       G 
They cause you so much pain  
                 D 
They make you go insane 
                           G  
That's what breaking hearts do
