And we Ctried so hard, Gwe couldn't save her DmdayF  
All the Cmillions and the Gbillions of Dmstars that shine inFto her eyes

[Verse 1]

C G Dm

Rolling through the canyon blasting Heartbreaker

C G Dm

I see your famous face riding next to me

F C G D

We smile at each other 'cause we know we know each other

F C G

But damn if I'm gonna talk to you again

I always thought that you were funny

C G

I always thought we could be friends

Dm C G

But the way you treated her in the end

[Chorus]

C G Dm F

All the horses and all the men couldn't bring her back again

C G Dm F

And we tried so hard, we couldn't save her day

C G Dm F

All the millions and the billions of stars that shine into her eyes

C G Dm

Are barely bright enough to light her way

[Verse 2]

C G Dm

So she covered herself in sorrow and shame

C G Dm

And smoke and mirrors and fame

F C G D

And fake love, angry love, bad love and sad love

F C G

And damn if I didn't almost do the same

Dm C G

And now sometimes I think I see her and I can almost hear her cry

Dm C G

I hear those chilling words she chose to say goodbye

[Chorus]

C G Dm F

All the horses and all the men couldn't bring her back again

C G Dm F

And we tried so hard we couldn't save her day

C G Dm F

All the millions and the billions of stars that shine into her eyes

C G Dm

Are barely bright enough to light her way

[Bridge]

F C G

He was predictable, cliche, and cruel to you

F C G

He made it ugly, and he made it high-school

F C G C

He said I love you I need you I want you I'll feed you

F C G C

I get you, I've got you, I'll catch you and I'll keep you

F C G

My sweet, you will never be sad again

F C G

He said my sweet, you will never be sad again

[Chorus]

C G Dm F

All the horses and all the men couldn't bring her back again

C G Dm F

And we tried so hard, we couldn't save her day

C G Dm F

All the millions and the billions of stars that shine into her eyes

C G Dm F

I swear sometimes I can almost hear her say

[Verse 3]

C G Dm F

That we're just bones and a name, we all go out the way we came

C G Dm F

So don't you try to tell me that love is all we need

C G Dm F

We're just bones and a name we all go out the way we came

C G Dm F

So don't you try to tell me that love is all we need

C G Dm F

Don't you try to tell me that love is all we need

[Outro]

C G Dm F

Ahhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh

C G Dm F

Ahhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh

C G Dm F

Ahhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh

C G Dm F

Ahhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh

C G Dm F

Ahhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh
