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 1st
      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
Chorus
C         G                       D                   Em
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you, and
C         G                        D                  Em   
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're OK, yeah
C   G          D  Em  
I'm falling to pieces, yeah 
C   G          D  Em  
I'm falling to pieces 
Instrumental
Em   D   G   Am7
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)
Chorus
C         G                 D                   Em

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

Bridge
        Em                         D
You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
G                       Am7
You took your suitcase, I took the blame. 
        Em                       D          G 
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh
        Am7
Cos you left me with no love, no love to my name.
