Breakeven

Em  D   G   Am7

[Verse]
Em                D              
  I'm still alive but I'm barely 
      G   Am7
breathing
     Em               D           
Just prayin' to a god that I don't
           G   Am7
 believe in
    Em         D                 
Cos I got time while she got 
G   Am7
freedom
    Em                  D         
Cos when a heart breaks no it 
         G   Am7
don't break even

Em              D                 
  Her best days will be some of my
 G    Am7
 worst
Em                D              
  She finally met a man that's 
    G        Am7
gonna put her first
      Em             D      
While I'm wide awake she's no 
          G    Am7
trouble sleeping
    Em                  D         
Cos when a heart breaks no it 
         G      Am7
don't break even, even, no

[Chorus]
C         G                      
  What am I supposed to do when 
   D               Em             
the best part of me was always 
  C
you, and
        G                          
What am I supposed to say when I'm 
D             Em              C
all choked up that you're OK, yeah
G              D  Em   C
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
G              D  Em
I'm falling to pieces

[Instrumental]
Em   D   G   Am7

[Verse]
     Em             D          
They say bad things happen for a 
        G   Am7
reason
    Em            D            
But no wise words gonna stop the 
          G    Am7
bleeding

    Em             D              
Cos she's moved on while I'm still
      G   Am7
 grieving
    Em                  D         
And when a heart breaks no it 
         G     Am7
don't break even (even)

[Chorus]
C         G                      
  What am I supposed to do when 
   D               Em              
the best part of me was always you, 
C
and
        G                          
What am I supposed to say when I'm 
D             Em               C
all choked up that you're OK, yeah
G              D  Em   C
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
G              D  Em   C
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
G              D  Em
I'm falling to pieces (One still in 
love while the other one's leaving)
C G              D  Em
  I'm falling to pieces (Cos when a 
heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

[Bridge]
        Em               D
You got his heart and my heart and 
none of the pain
G                 Am7
You took your suitcase, I took the 
blame
        Em               D     
Now I'm tryna make sense of what 
            G
little remains, oh
        Am7
Cos you left me with no love and no 
love to my name

[Verse]
Em                D              
  I'm still alive but I'm barely 
      G   Am7
breathing
     Em               D           
Just prayin' to a god that I don't
           G   Am7
 believe in
    Em         D                 
Cos I got time while she got 
G   Am7
freedom
    Em                  D
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't 
break
G
No, it don't break
Am7                 C
No, it don't break even, no!

[Chorus]
        G                   D  
What am I gonna do when the best 
             Em              C
part of me was always you, and
        G

I'm falling to pieces, yeah (Oh, I'm
 falling, I'm falling... yeah)
G              D  Em
I'm falling to pieces (One still in 
love while the other one's leaving)
C G              D  Em
  I'm falling to pieces (Cos when a 
heart breaks no it don't breakeven)
