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 
              
Oh the truth hurts 
        
And lies worse 
                   
How can I give anymore 
                                   
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
