[Verse]

D G A D

I broke my world in pieces yesterday

D G A D Dmaj7 D7

I woke to find my angel gone astray

I was loud and I was strong

I was proud but I was wrong

E E7 A

I didn't realise the price I'd have to pay

D G A D

Long before I thought this whole thing through

D G A D Dmaj7 D7

I did the things I thought a man should do

And so I tried to break her will

But it was me who paid the bill

E E7 A Asus4 A Asus4

Because instead of breaking one heart I broke two

[Chorus]

D Dmaj7 D7 G G/F#

What's the use in askin' where she's been to

Em A D Dmaj7

What's the use in askin' what she's done

D G G/F#

Cause I'm the one who told him she was leavin'

Em A D

So what's the use in askin' where she's gone

[Bridge]

D G A D G A D Dmaj7 D7

Everynight I'm down there praying

Everyday I'm out there saying

E E7 A Asus4 A Asus4

Angel, please forgive me, I was wrong

[Chorus]

D Dmaj7 D7 G G/F#

What's the use in askin' where she's been to

Em A D Dmaj7

What's the use in askin' what she's done

D G G/F#

Cause I'm the one who told him she was leavin'

Em A D Dmaj7

So what's the use in askin' where she's gone

[Chorus]

D G G/F#

What's the use in askin' where she's been to

Em A D

What's the use in askin' what she's done

Cause I'm the one who told him she was leavin'

Em A D

So what's the use in askin' where she's gone
