C Am Em Em

[Chorus]
C
This world can hurt you
Am                                             Em
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Em/F#                             G                             Em
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
Em                               .
And nothing breaks like a heart

[Verse]
Em                                             .
I heard you on the phone last night
D                                             .
We live and die by pretty lies
Em                                             .
You know it, oh, we both know it
Em                                             .
These silver bullet cigarettes
D                                             .
This burning house, there’s nothing left

Em                                             .
It’s smoking, we both know it
Em                                             .
We got all night to fall in love
D                                             .
But just like that we fall apart
Em                                             .
We’re broken, we’re broken

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Mmm, well nothing, nothing, nothing gon’ save us now

[Chorus]
C
Well, there’s broken silence
Am                                                         Em
By thunder crashing in the dark (Crash in the dark)
C                               .
And this broken record
Am                                                                       Em
Spin endless circles in the bar (Spin ’round in the bar)
C
This world can hurt you
Am                                           Em
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Em/F#                             G                                           C
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
Am                                                         Em
Mhmm, and nothing breaks like a heart

[Verse]
Em
We’ll leave each other cold as ice
D
And high and dry, the desert wind
Em
Is blowin’, is blowin’
Em
Remember what you said to me?
D
We were drunk in love in Tennessee
Em
And I hold it, we both know it

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Mmm, nothing, nothing, nothing gon’ save us now
Em
Nothing, nothing, nothing gon’ save us now

[Chorus]
C
Well, there’s broken silence
Am                                                         Em
By thunder crashing in the dark (Crashing in the dark)
C
And this broken record
Am                                                                       Em
Spin endless circles in the bar (Spin ’round in the bar)
C
This world can hurt you

Am                                           Em
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Em/F#                             G                                           C
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
Am                                                         Em
Mhmm, and nothing breaks like a heart
C
Nothing breaks like a heart
Am                                                         Em
Mhmm, and nothing breaks like a heart

[Instrumental]
Em Em Em Em

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Nothing, nothing, nothing gon’ save us now
Em
Nothing, nothing, nothing gon’ save us now

[Chorus]
C
Well, there’s broken silence
