Bm
Let me hold you
D
For the last time
G
It's the last chance to feel again
Bm
But you broke me
DG
Now I can't feel anything
Bm
When I love you,
D
It's so untrue
G
I can't even convince myself
Bm
When I'm speaking,
DGEm
It's the voice of someone else
GABm
Oh it tears me up
GAF#m
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
GAF#m
I try to forgive, but it's not enough
G
to make it all okay
Chorus:
EmBm
You can't play on broken strings
DA
You can't feel anything
EmBm
That your heart don't want to feel
DA
I can't tell you something that ain't real
G
Oh the truth hurts
Bm
And lies worse
DA
How can I give anymore
EmBmA
When I love you a little less than before
BmD
Oh what are we doing
G
We are turning into dust
BmDGEm
Playing house in the ruins of us
BmD
Running back through the fire
G
When there's nothing left to save
BmD
It's like chasing the very last train
GEm
when it's too late (too late)
GABm
Oh it tears me up
GAF#m
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
GAF#m
I try to forgive, but it's not enough
G
to make it all okay
EmBm
You can't play on broken strings
DA
You can't feel anything
EmBm
That your heart don't want to feel
DA
I can't tell you something that ain't real
G
Oh the truth hurts
Bm
And lies worse
DA
How can I give anymore
EmBmA
When I love you a little less than before
GBm
But we're running through the fire
DG
When there's nothing left to save
BmG
It's like chasing the very last train
DF#m
When we both know it's too late (too late)
EmBm
You can't play on broken strings
DA
You can't feel anything
EmBm
That your heart don't want to feel
DA
I can't tell you something that ain't real
G
Well the truth hurts
Bm
And lies worse
DA
How can I give anymore
EmBmA
When I love you a little less than before
EmBmA
Oh when I love you a little less than before
BmD
Let me hold you for the last time

It's the last chance to feel again
