"Everything Breaks" by Jewel
(B-side of Foolish Games single)
This isn't perfect, but it's a good start. Post your corrections!

All strings tuned down 1/2 step.

INTRO AND VERSE:
(Only play strings)
Under the shadows, forbidden and hot
Desire grows, more often than not
"I'm sorry" is a stupid thing to say
Especially considering it's not like I planned it this way
PRE-CHORUS:
But "I'm sorry" is all that there is left of me
I'm so sorry this love left me hollow and made you empty
CHORUS:
Maybe I could have loved you better
Maybe you should have loved me more
Maybe our hearts were just next in line
Maybe everything breaks sometime
(arpeggiated)
Everything breaks sometime
It's hard to believe it's boiled down to this
It seems so surreal; this won't be healed by a kiss
It's hard to stare at you, knowing you like I have
I used to feel so close, now I feel so bad
My heart's filled with thunderstorms and I'm ready to burst
And I've lost my favorite harbor and I'll weather for the worst
Maybe I could have loved you better
Maybe you should have loved me more
Maybe our hearts were just next in line
Maybe everything breaks sometime
Everything breaks sometime
ENDING:
I'm so sorry, everything breaks sometime
