[Verse]
       Fm
Let me hold you
        G#
For the last time
         C#
It's the last chance to feel again
        Fm
But you broke me
      G#             C#      A#m
Now I can't feel anything
       Fm
When I love you,
        G#
It's so untrue
  C#
I can't even convince myself
         Fm
When I'm speaking,
         G#                C#    A#m
It's the voice of someone else


[Pre-chorus]
      C#     D#  Fm
Oh it tears me up
  C#           D#          Cm
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
  C#         D#              Cm            C#~               C#
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay


[Chorus]
          A#m              Fm
You can't play on broken strings
          G#       D#
You can't feel anything
          A#m                  Fm
That your heart don't want to feel
        G#                             D#
I can't tell you something that ain't real
       C#
Oh the truth hurts
    Fm
And lies worse
G#                 D#
How can I give anymore
       A#m                Fm          D#
When I love you a little less than before


[Verse]
        Fm     G#
Oh what are we doing
       C#
We are turning into dust
        Fm           G#        C#    A#m
Playing house in the ruins of us
        Fm               G#
Running back through the fire
             C#
When there's nothing left to save
          Fm               G#
It's like chasing the very last train
              C#    A#m
when it's too late


[Pre-chorus]
      C#     D#  Fm
Oh it tears me up
  C#           D#          Cm
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
  C#         D#              Cm            C#~              C#  C#  C#
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay


[Chorus]
          A#m              Fm
You can't play on broken strings
          G#       D#
You can't feel anything
          A#m                  Fm
That your heart don't want to feel
        G#                             D#
I can't tell you something that ain't real
       C#
Oh the truth hurts
    Fm
And lies worse
G#                 D#
How can I give anymore
       A#m                Fm          D#
When I love you a little less than before


[Verse]
          Fm                  G#
But we're running through the fire
             C#
When there's nothing left to save
          Fm               G#
It's like chasing the very last train
        C#                  A#m~
When we both know it's too late (too late)


[Chorus]
          A#m              Fm
You can't play on broken strings
          G#       D#
You can't feel anything
          A#m                  Fm
That your heart don't want to feel
        G#                             D#
I can't tell you something that ain't real
         C#
Well the truth hurts
    Fm
And lies worse
G#                 D#
How can I give anymore
       A#m                Fm          D#
When I love you a little less than before
          A#m                Fm          D#
Oh when I love you a little less than before


[Outro]
       Fm               G#
Let me hold you for the last time
         A#m                   C#~
It's the last chance to feel again
