[Verse 1] (Labrinth)
F           Dm              C 
 I hope you understand that I 
              Gsus4 G
 have to send you  away
F            Dm             C 
 You may not understand but I 
               Gsus4    G
 know that you will one day
F          Dm  C      Gsus4 G
 You're broken, I know this
F           Dm                 C    
 And if you knew it, you would love 
            Gsus4     G  N.C.
 me a whole different way

[Chorus] (Labrinth)
               F      Dm    C
But that's how love goes, goes

That's how love  goes
F       Dm    C
Goes, goes, goes
           Gsus4 G
That's how love  goes

 I tried to change you, tried to make 
          Gsus4   G
 you into someone else (Someone else)
F            Dm           C       
 I guess the only one I'm fooling 
      Gsus4  G
 is my stupid self
F          Dm  C       Gsus4 G
 You're broken, we know that
