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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


[Outro]
       A#m               C#
Let me hold you for the last time
         D#m                   F#~
It's the last chance to feel again
