Intro:  G  D   Em   C 


VERSE 

G                        D 
The way you turned your head 
                        Am 
And all the words you said 
                         C 
The way they left your lips they left me 
  
G                D 
Frozen in my tracks 
                         Am 
Now you can't take them back 
                       C  
No it's too late for that, now I feel  



G 
The aftermath of  
    D 
A fragile, cracked love  
     Em              C 
That all but fell apart  
G  
Like gravel to skin  
D 
The hurt has set in 
     Em                    C  
And all that's left of my heart 
                 G (2 bars) 
Are pieces and parts  



VERSE 

G              D 
How was I to know  
                     Am 
Like a hammer to my soul  
                     C           
You would break me down so easily  
G               D 
Now baby here I am  
                              Am 
Left with half of could have been  
                 C 
Can't help wondering if you feel  


 

G 
The aftermath of  
    D 
A fragile, cracked love  
     Em              C 
That all but fell apart  
G  
Like gravel to skin  
D 
The hurt has set in 
     Em                    C  
And all that's left of my heart 
                 G  
Are pieces and parts
