Verse:
  D - Em7            F#m  
I held her close to me 
            G               A/G F#m Bm - G  
Coz I know she breaks so easily 
                  F#m  
And then I told her 
          Em            F#m        G/A         
But I knew no matter how I tried to console her 
 D               Em            F#m  
She'd just do the best she could 
       G             A/G             F#m  Bm C+7 
But there are times the best is no damn good 
 
            A                     D Em  
And no matter how you try to be kind 
              F#m               G         F#          Bm  
There's always still a part of you you'll leave behind 
               E  
When it falls apart 
 
Chorus:
                    G       F#m       Em        A  
There's no easy way to break somebody's heart. D Back to Intro 
 
    D           Em7              F#m  
I lied and told her she'll be fine 
                    G              A/G F#m Bm - G  
Though we both knew it was just a lie 
             F#m  
I had to do it 
                 Em          F#m     G  
Coz I had said anything to help me get through it. 
 
Verse:
 D              Em            F#m  
And she reached out for my hand 
               G            A/G         F#m  Bm 
And her simple touch was more than I could  
C+7
Stand 
    A                    D     Em  
And I had to turn away coz I knew 
              F#m                     G  F#  
All the hurt that she was feeling, I was   
      Bm  
feeling too 
                    E  
Coz when it falls apart  
 
Chorus:
                    G   F#m   Em            A  
There's no easy way to break somebody's heart.  
C - Bb                   Gm  
She could've gotten angry 
                        Eb        Dm Cm  
And made me feel like a guilty child 
     Cm   Dm             F           Bb  
But I realized that never was her style 
 
C - C#                  Bbm  
I wanted her to hurt me 
               F#        Fm  Ebm  
And not treat me like a friend 
    Ebm                            Fm  
I wanted her to say "there'd be someday 
                F#                    Cm7  
I'd come crawling on my knees to ask her  
 F       Bb  
back again" 
      Am                        D    G  
But she acted like a lady till the end 
A7sus         A7  
Oh, what a lady! 
 
Verse:
 D     Em7                   F#m  
I thought that she'd bring down 
                G          A/G     F#m  Bm  
But she smiled at me and never made a  
C+7 
Sound 
            A                     D Em  
And I guess she understood in her way 
                 F#m         G     F#  
Coz her silence told me everything she  
  Bm  
could not say 
             E  
When it falls apart 
 
Chorus:
Well There's no easy way to break 
              Bb       Am  Gm  
There's just no easy way 
               Em   F#m            G/A  
There's no easy way to break somebody's heart...
