AmI'm not the type to get my heart bFroken

This time was different
Felt like, I Fwas just a victim
And it cDmut me like a knife
When you wGalked out of my life
Now IAm'm, in this condition
And I'Fve, got all the symptoms
Of a gDmirl with a broken heart

Capo 3rd Fret

[Intro]

Am F Am F

[Verse]

Am F

I'm not the type to get my heart broken

I'm not the type to get upset and cry

'cause I never leave my heart open

Never hurts me to say goodbye

Relationships don't get deep to me

Never got the whole in love thing

And someone can say they love me truly

But at the time it didn't mean a thing

[Pre-Chorus]

F Am

My mind is gone, I'm spinning round

And deep inside, my tears I'll drown

G Em

I'm losing grip, what's happening

F Am

I stray from love, this is how I feel

[Chorus]

This time was different

Felt like, I was just a victim

And it cut me like a knife

When you walked out of my life

Now I'm, in this condition

And I've, got all the symptoms

Of a girl with a broken heart

G F

But no matter what you'll never see me cry

Am F

Did it happen when we first kissed?

'cause it's hurting me to let it go

Maybe 'cause we spent so much time

And I know that it's no more

I should've never let you hold me baby

Maybe why I'm sad to see us apart

I didn't give to you on purpose

Can't figure out how you stole my heart

[Pre-Chorus]

F Am

My mind is gone, I'm spinning round

And deep inside, my tears I'll drown

G Em

I'm losing grip, what's happening

F Am

I stray from love, this is how I feel

[Chorus]

This time was different

Felt like, I was just a victim

And it cut me like a knife

When you walked out of my life

Now I'm, in this condition

And I've, got all the symptoms

Of a girl with a broken heart

G F

But no matter what you'll never see me cry

F Em Am

How did I get here with you, I'll never know?

F Em Am

I never meant to let it get so, personal

F G Em Am

After all I tried to do, stay away from loving you

G F

I'm broken hearted, I can't let you know

And I won't let it show

You won't see me cry

[Chorus] X2

This time was different

Felt like, I was just a victim

And it cut me like a knife

When you walked out of my life

Now I'm, in this condition

And I've, got all the symptoms

Of a girl with a broken heart

G F

But no matter what you'll never see me cry

All my life...
