D Who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes A D Or the bitter directions of impending goodbyes I'm fallen and folded I'm wilted in place A D At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face Em A You got your heartbroke running from the reason Em A Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me Em A D Heartbroke who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke D Pride is a bitch and a bore when you're lonely A D Sheer madness prevails upon reason to yield But all is not lost it is only mistaken A D That's small consolation but I know just how you feel Em A You got your heartbroke running from the reason Em A Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me Em A D Heartbroke who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke SOLO D Well nobody said it was going to be easy A D We all have our weak side that need a softer touch D But nobody said that it wouldn't be worth it A D The human condition continues as such Em A You got your heartbroke running from the reason Em A Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me Em A D Heartbroke who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke
