Protocol

[Intro] A9

     D                      D7
I remember the evenin' you said you were leavin'
  G                      G#m
That's when I knew I had lost
    D
No room for forgiveness
   D7                         G                        G#m
Suitcase, frames, pictures, placed in the back of your car

   Em
I won't tell my parents
        G
How I fucked up perfection
        D                 A9
And selfishly put myself first
    Em                G                       D
A future of stories, kiss you, good mornings gone and it's what I
  A9
Deserve

                   G       D
I can't find the words to say
                  Bm          A9
When someone asks how you've been
                  G    D       Bm                  A9
I don't know the protocol for fixin' a, fixin' a broken heart

          D
When my friends hear the rumours

         D7
They'll tell me they knew that
 G                          G#m
You were bad news from the start
       D
Every bar they take me
    D7
To try to matchmake me
       G                       G#m
With someone who doesn't come close, no

     Em                            G
You won't tell your mother 'cause she'll tell your father
     D                           A9
And that's just one more broken heart (one more broken heart)
    Em                   G
A future of stories, adventures, and journeys
    D                 A9
On fire and falling apart

                   G       D
I can't find the words to say
                  Bm          A9
When someone asks how you've been
                  G    D       Bm                  A9
I don't know the protocol for fixin' a, fixin' a broken heart
           G     D
Call your answerphone
                 Bm      A9
Hope that you're not at home
                  G    D       Bm                  A9    G
I don't know the protocol for fixin' a, fixin' a broken heart

( D  Bm  A9 )
( G  D  Bm  A9 )

          D                     D7
When I'm all by myself and the drink doesn't help
          G
Take 'em down from the shelf
    G#m                            D
And I'm reminded I keep fighting walls in my head
          D7                        G                    G#m
With the miles of regret, 'cause I had every letter, but now

                  G       D
I can't find the words to say
                  Bm          A9
When someone asks how you've been
                  G    D       Bm                  A9
