Broken StringsJames Morrison

[Verse]

A#m
Let me hold you
C#
For the last time
F#
It's the last chance to feel again
A#m
But you broke me
C#F#D#m
Now I can't feel anything
A#m
When I love you,
C#
It's so untrue
F#
I can't even convince myself
A#m
When I'm speaking,
C#F#D#m
It's the voice of someone else

[Pre-Chorus]

F#G#A#m
Oh it tears me up
F#G#Fm
I try to hold on, but it hurts too
much
F#G#Fm
I try to forgive, but it's not enough
F#
to make it all okay

[Chorus]

D#mA#m
You can't play on broken strings
C#G#
You can't feel anything
D#mA#m
That your heart don't want to feel
C#
I can't tell you something that ain't
G#
real
F#
Oh the truth hurts
A#m
And lies worse
C#G#
How can I give anymore
D#mA#m
When I love you a little less than
G#
before

[Verse]

A#mC#
Oh what are we doing
F#
We are turning into dust
A#mC#F#D#m
Playing house in the ruins of us
Bm               D
Running back through the fire
G
When there's nothing left to save
Bm               D
G    Em
It's like chasing the very last train
when it's too late

[Pre-Chorus]

G     A  Bm
Oh it tears me up
G           A          F#m
I try to hold on, but it hurts too
much
G         A              F#m
G               D
I try to forgive, but it's not enough
to make it all okay

[Chorus]

Em             Bm
You can't play on broken strings
D       A
You can't feel anything
Em                  Bm
That your heart don't want to feel
D                             A
I can't tell you something that ain't
real
G
Oh the truth hurts
Bm
And lies worse
D                 A
How can I give anymore
Em                Bm        A
When I love you a little less than
before

[Bridge]

G                   Bm
But we're running through the fire
D                G
When there's nothing left to save
G                     Bm
It's like chasing the very last train
D                        F#m
When we both know it's too late (too
late)

[Chorus]

Em            Bm
You can't play on broken strings
D       A
You can't feel anything
Em                 Bm
That your heart don't want to feel
D                             A
I can't tell you something that ain't
real
G
Well the truth hurts
Bm
And lies worse
D                 A
How can I give anymore
Em                Bm       A
When I love you a little less than
before
Em                Bm         A
Oh when I love you a little less than
before

[Outro]

Bm              D
Let me hold you for the last time
G                   Em
It's the last chance to feel again
