[Verse 1]
E9                                                        G#m
I know it hurts that we don’t touch anymore
E9                                                             G#m
It’s even worse ’cause we built this from the floor
E9                                                 G#m
It’s just as hard for me to know I might see you ’round
E9                                                                         G#m
Just as hard for me to worry ’bout reachin’ out

[Pre-Chorus]
A7                         C#m                         F#m7                         C#m
The more I think about you, the more I keep the ghost alive
A7                         C#m                         F#m7                                   B
Yeah, the more I think about you, the more I keep the ghost alive

[Chorus]

I want you bad, but it’s done
A7             C#m             F#m7             B
I’m bleeding out, ’cause we can’t go on
E9      E9/D#      C#m             B
I want you bad, ’til I shake
A7             C#m             F#m7             B                         E9
I want what we’ve had, but what’s broken don’t unbreak

[Verse 2]
E9                                                             G#m
Soon as I’m ready to get over you, you call me up
E9                                                             G#m
Then I crumble when you say you’re getting over us

[Pre-Chorus]
A7                         C#m                       F#m7                         C#m
But the more I think about you, the more I keep the ghost alive
A7                                     C#m                         F#m7                         B
Yeah, the more that I’m without you, the less I know if I was right

I want you bad, but it’s done
A7             C#m             F#m7             B
I’m bleeding out, ’cause we can’t go on

I want you bad, ’til I shake
A7                         C#m                         F#m7                         B
I want what we’ve had, but what’s broken don’t unbreak

[Bridge]
E E/D# C#m E/D# E F#m7 E9
And I won’t tell you what I want to
Bsus             B
What I want to
E E/D# C#m E/D# E F#m7 E9
I’m falling through, I can’t hide it
Bsus             B
But I learn to

[Chorus]
E9             E9/D#             C#m             B
‘Cause I want you bad, but it’s done
A7             C#m             F#m7             B
I’m bleeding out, ’cause we can’t go on

I want what we’ve had, but what’s broken don’t unbreak
