This is not 100% accurate for a resons im sure you will find out when listening to
the song and playing at the same time. Credit for this tab goes to onefinebob for
the tabbed fast car portion and lillyo_o for the chorded breakeven portion. I
simply just put what they had onto 1 tab, i don't deserve credit.
Pending on your tone of singing, capo should be on either 2 or 3 perhaps 4.

"I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
Cos I got time while she got freedom
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even
Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her 1st
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no"
CWhat am I Gsupposed to do when the Dbest part of me was Emalways you, and
