Verse

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

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

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you, and
        G                          D                  Em             C
What am I supposed to say when I'm 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

Verse

     Em                    D            G Am7
They say bad things happen for a reason
    Em                  D                G Am7
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
    Em                   D         G        Am7
Cos she's moved on while I'm still grieving
    Em                        D           G     Am7
And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no

        G                          D                  Em             C
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're OK, yeah

I'm falling to pieces,    yeah
    G          D       Em C
I'm falling to pieces,    yeah
    G          D      Em C
I'm falling to pieces    (One still in love while the other one's leaving)
    G          D       Em

You took your suitcase, I took the blame
