Chorus: 
D
My heart has a history, 
A  D
Of hurting those who mean the most to me, 
G  D  Bm
Before you get too close to me, 
A
I think you oughta know, 
D
While other hearts are holdin’ on 
A  D
While other loves are growin’ strong, 
G  D  Bm  A  D
My heart has a history of letting go. 
 
G  A  D 
The first time I looked into your eyes, 
G  A  D
I knew this moment would arrive. 
G  A
I got a feeling you’re the one 
Bm  A  G
But my heart keeps trying to turn and run, 
G  A
The problem is this happens every time.

If we can take this one step at a time, 
G  A  D
Maybe we can tame this heart of mine. 
G  A  
I’m telling you the cold hard truth, 
Bm  A  G
I ain’t ever been loved by the likes of you 
A
And I ain’t ever had this much on the line, yes
