C   F  
I never loved nobody fully  
 C   F  
Always one foot on the ground  
 F   Bb  
And by protecting my heart truly  
 Dm   C  
I got lost in the sounds  
 F   Bb  
I hear in my mind all these voices  
 Dm   C  
I hear in my mind all these words  
 F   Bb  
I hear in my mind all this music  
 
 Dm  
And it breaks my heart  
 C  
And it breaks my heart 
 F   C   
And it breaks my heart  
 F   Bb   C  
It breaks my heart  
 
And suppose I never met you  
Suppose we never fell in love  
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me  
so sweet and so soft  
Suppose I never ever saw you  
Suppose we never ever called  
Suppose I kept on singing love songs  
 
just to break  
my own fall  
Just to break my fall  
Just to break my fall  
 F  
Break my fall  
 Bb   C  
Break my fall  
 
 Dm   
All my friends say that of course its  
 G  
gonna get better, gonna get better 
 C   Bb  
Better better better better  
 C   F  
Better better better  
 
I never love nobody fully  
Always one foot on the ground  
And by protecting by heart truly  
I got lost in the sounds  
I hear in my mind all these voices  
I hear in my mind all these words  
I hear in my mind all this music
