Broken Strings Tab

by James Morrison


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

           
Oh it tears me up
                     
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
                                                
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

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

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

           
Oh it tears me up
                     
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
                                                 
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay
                      
You can't play on broken strings
                
You can't feel anything 
                           
That your heart don't want to feel
                                    
I can't tell you something that ain't real
           
Oh the truth hurts
      
And lies worse
                
How can I give anymore
                             
When I love you a little less than before

                           
But we're running through the fire
             
When there's nothing left to save
                             
It's like chasing the very last train
                               
When we both know it's too late (too late)

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

                     
Let me hold you for the last time
                            
It's the last chance to feel again
