CmLeft alone with empty hands
CmLosing you is more than I can Fstand, I can't Gmend

AbSwore to never ever leave you
FTo never let you out of my hands
CmNothing here could ever change this
BbA promise 'til the living end
I sAbwore I'd never Fstray from youCm  
[Verse 2]
CmBroken bones, broken in half
CmI've come too far to start again
FBut I'm trying, I am Gtrying
CmI'm sick of this, I'm sick of hurt
CmShame is such a dirty word
I'm Ftrying, I'm still tGrying
[Chorus 2]
AbSwore to never ever leave you
FTo never let you out of my hands
CmNothing here could ever change this
BbA promise 'til the living end
AbI never meant to be a liar
FThe shame is cutting into my skin
