       Am
Let me hold you

        C
For the last time

         F
It's the last chance to feel again

        Am
But you broke me

      C             F      Dm
Now I can't feel anything

       Am
When I love you,

        C
It's so untrue

  F
I can't even convince myself

         Am
When I'm speaking,

         C                F    Dm
It's the voice of someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
      F     G  Am
Oh it tears me up

  F           G          Em
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much

  F         G              Em             F              C
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay
[Chorus]
          Dm             Am
You can't play on broken strings

          C       G 
You can't feel anything 

          Dm                  Am
That your heart don't want to feel

        C                             G
I can't tell you something that ain't real

       F     
Oh the truth hurts

    Am  
And lies worse

C                 G
How can I give anymore

       Dm                Am       G
When I love you a little less than before
[Verse]
        Am     C
Oh what are we doing

       F
We are turning into dust

        Am           C        F    Dm
Playing house in the ruins of us

        Am               C
Running back through the fire

             F
When there's nothing left to save

          Am               C                        F    Dm
It's like chasing the very last train when it's too late
[Pre-Chorus]
      F     G  Am
Oh it tears me up

  F           G          Em
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much

  F         G              Em            F               C
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay
[Chorus]
          Dm             Am
You can't play on broken strings

          C       G
You can't feel anything 

          Dm                  Am
That your heart don't want to feel

        C                             G
I can't tell you something that ain't real

       F
Oh the truth hurts

    Am  
And lies worse

C                 G
How can I give anymore

       Dm                Am        G
When I love you a little less than before
[Bridge]
          F                   Am
But we're running through the fire

             C                F
When there's nothing left to save

          F                     Am
It's like chasing the very last train

        C                        Em
When we both know it's too late (too late)
[Chorus]
          Dm            Am
You can't play on broken strings

          C       G
You can't feel anything 

          Dm                 Am
That your heart don't want to feel

        C                             G
I can't tell you something that ain't real

       F    
Well the truth hurts

    Am  
And lies worse

C                 G
How can I give anymore

       Dm                Am       G
When I love you a little less than before

       Dm                Am         G
Oh when I love you a little less than before
[Outro]
       Am              C
Let me hold you for the last time

         F                   Dm
It's the last chance to feel again
