I Cant Break It To My Heart Tab

by Delta Goodrem


This is Delta Goodrem's 4th single from 'Delta'.  The setting for guitar is half-step 
but I'll still write the chords as if it was in standard tuning due to the fact a piano is 
to tune down or up.  But regardless of the setup, it should sound the same.

Intro (Piano chords):, /, /, (ring)

            
If it's o-o-kay
                       /
I'll leave the bed light on
                   /                  /Eb(ring)
And place your water glass where i-it belo-ngs
                 
And if it's a-al-right
                /
I'll lie awake at night
               /              /Eb(ring)
Pre-tending I am curled up at your side

[Guitar, strings and light percussion joins in, ring all chords]
                          
See I'm circling in these pa-a-tterns
                   
Living out of memori-i-ies
                                 
I'm still a long way from accepting it
                           
That there's just no you-u and me

[More percussion and strings joins in]
                            
But if I still-ll believe you lo-ove me
              
Maybe I'll survi-ive
                            
So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home
                           
Like you've done a million ti-imes
                 
And if it's a-al-right
                      
I'll still-ll be loving you
[[Piano appegio from Bbm, guitar rings the same chords]
                                        
'cause I can't break it to my-y  hea-a-art

[Drums and lead guitar appegio joins in]
             
Is it ju-ust me
                 
Did I commit a cri-ime
                                             
I won't believe that loving you-u is just a waste of time
                 
Or was it in my he-e-ead
                                     
I'm reading into things that you neve-er said

[[Guitar chord and piano appegio, ring all chords]
                             
'cause I still don't have the a-answers
                             
To why we couldn't wo-ork it o-out
                                 
I wanna think it's something that I did
                  
So I can turn it back a-round

[Backup joins in on 'stil-ll']
                            
But if I still-ll believe you lo-ove me
              
Maybe I'll survi-ive
                            
So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home
                           
Like you've done a million ti-imes
                 
And if it's a-al-right
                      
I'll still-ll be loving you
[Backup drops out]
                               
'cause I can't break it to my-y  hea-a-art
[Piano appegio and backup harmony join in]
                              
 And nothing will co-ome between u-u-s
                                                 
 I wanna convi-ince myself we're per-fect in every single way
[The Fm to F# transition for guitar ios d,u,d, mute, then to F# (ring)]
                                               (ring)
As long as I can keep the truth awa-ay from my-y heart
                                         (ring)
Oh 'cause I can-n't break it to my hea-a-a-art
  
O-o-o-o-oh

[On 'still', only strings appegio and bass guitar]
                             
'cause I still don't have the a-answers
                               
To why we couldn't wo-ork it o-o-out
                                 
I wanna think it's something that I did
[Percussion build-up on 'turn']
                  
So I can turn it back a-round
