D
Who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes
A D
Or the bitter directions of impending goodbyes
I'm fallen and folded I'm wilted in place
A D
At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face
Em A
You got your heartbroke running from the reason
Em A
Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me
Em A D
Heartbroke who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke
D
Pride is a bitch and a bore when you're lonely
A D
Sheer madness prevails upon reason to yield
But all is not lost it is only mistaken
A D
That's small consolation but I know just how you feel
Em A
You got your heartbroke running from the reason
Em A
Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me
Em A D
Heartbroke who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke
SOLO
D
Well nobody said it was going to be easy
A D
We all have our weak side that need a softer touch
D
But nobody said that it wouldn't be worth it
A D
The human condition continues as such
Em A
You got your heartbroke running from the reason
Em A
Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me
Em A D
Heartbroke who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke
