  			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
