D - Em7 F#m
I held her close to me
G A/G F#m Bm - G
Coz I know she breaks so easily

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

I had to do it
Em F#m G
Coz I had said anything to help me get through it.

And she reached out for my hand
G A/G F#m Bm
And her simple touch was more than I could

feeling too

Coz when it falls apart

G F#m Em A
There's no easy way to break somebody's heart.

And made me feel like a guilty child

back again"

I thought that she'd bring down

could not say

There's no easy way to break somebody's heart...
