Capo II

[Verse]
       G#m
Let me hold you
        B
For the last time
         E
It's the last chance to feel again
        G#m
But you broke me
      B             E      C#m
Now I can't feel anything
       G#m
When I love you,
        B
It's so untrue
  E
I can't even convince myself
         G#m
When I'm speaking,
         B                E    C#m
It's the voice of someone else


[Pre-chorus]
      E     F#  G#m
Oh it tears me up
  E           F#          D#m
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
  E         F#              D#m            E~               E
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay


[Chorus]
          C#m              G#m
You can't play on broken strings
          B       F#
You can't feel anything
          C#m                  G#m
That your heart don't want to feel
        B                             F#
I can't tell you something that ain't real
       E
Oh the truth hurts
    G#m
And lies worse
B                 F#
How can I give anymore
       C#m                G#m          F#
When I love you a little less than before


[Verse]
        G#m     B
Oh what are we doing
       E
We are turning into dust
        G#m           B        E    C#m
Playing house in the ruins of us
        G#m               B
Running back through the fire
             E
When there's nothing left to save
          G#m               B
It's like chasing the very last train
              E    C#m
when it's too late


[Pre-chorus]
      E     F#  G#m
Oh it tears me up
  E           F#          D#m
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
  E         F#              D#m            E~              E  E  E
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay


[Chorus]
          C#m              G#m
You can't play on broken strings
          B       F#
You can't feel anything
          C#m                  G#m
That your heart don't want to feel
        B                             F#
I can't tell you something that ain't real
       E
Oh the truth hurts
    G#m
And lies worse
B                 F#
How can I give anymore
       C#m                G#m          F#
When I love you a little less than before


[Verse]
          G#m                  B
But we're running through the fire
             E
When there's nothing left to save
          G#m               B
It's like chasing the very last train
        E                  C#m~
When we both know it's too late (too late)


[Chorus]
          C#m              G#m
You can't play on broken strings
          B       F#
You can't feel anything
          C#m                  G#m
That your heart don't want to feel
        B                             F#
I can't tell you something that ain't real
         E
Well the truth hurts
    G#m
And lies worse
B                 F#
How can I give anymore
       C#m                G#m          F#
When I love you a little less than before
          C#m                G#m          F#
Oh when I love you a little less than before


[Outro]
       G#m               B
Let me hold you for the last time
         C#m                   E~
It's the last chance to feel again
