Capo 6


These words don't come easy

They spit from my lips
            		 
But then we never had it easy
                              
It slipped from our fingertips


When we met, you laughed at me

And stole my last cigarette
                          
Said you wanted to share a past with me
                         
That tomorrow's the day to forget

And you said


(Chorus)
                        *    
Just give me a reason to carry on
       
To carry on
                        *    
Just give me a reason to carry on
        
To carry on



Now I've come unhinged

I'm a door in a frame
                    
Well I'm never quite closed
                        
But I ain't open to change


So my knuckles are bruised

From knocking on wood
                      
It's a trick that I've used
                        
Perhaps more than I should

And I said


Chorus

                      
Cause a heart is just a heart
                     
It can break and fall apart
                         
It can bleed and stop and start
                       
Cause a heart is just a heart

               
Ooooh....Ooooh....Ooooh
                
Ooooh....Ooooh....Ooooh



Mix your words with fire

I'll let them burn me down
                    
Let them ring in the air
                              
Like the bells of an old mining town


Chorus (repeat to end)
