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

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
