Capo 6th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

These words don't come easy

They spit from my lips

 But then we never had it easy

 It slipped from our fingertips

When we met, you laughed at me

And stole my last cigarette

 Said you wanted to share a past with me

 That tomorrow's the day to forget

And you said

(Chorus)

Just give me a reason to carry on

 To carry on

Just give me a reason to carry on

 To carry on

Now I've come unhinged

I'm a door in a frame

 Well I'm never quite closed

 But I ain't open to change

So my knuckles are bruised

From knocking on wood

 It's a trick that I've used

 Perhaps more than I should

And I said

Chorus

 Cause a heart is just a heart

 It can break and fall apart

 It can bleed and stop and start

 Cause a heart is just a heart

Ooooh....Ooooh....Ooooh

Ooooh....Ooooh....Ooooh

Mix your words with fire

I'll let them burn me down

 Let them ring in the air

 Like the bells of an old mining town

Chorus

repeat to end)
