[Verse 1]
DJack and Jill went up the hill
A Embucket full of dreams
When the Bmmorning came
They carved their names inGto the cherry tree
But the Dhill was built on quicksand
And it Emall came tumblin' down
So they Bmheld onto the only thing they Gcouldn't live without
[Pre-Chorus]
And Emhere you are the Abest of us
With a Embigger heart than the Arest of us
[Chorus]
GI'm so soDrry
I couldn't give you the perfect AstoBmry
GA textbook happy endDing
Where nobody here gets Bmhurt
But Gdon't you worDry
Your daddy and your AmoBmmmy
May be a little GbroDken
But not our F#mlove for you
Oh our Glove for you
Can move the Emear-Drrr-Arrth
EmOoh Dooh Aooh
[Verse 2]
DWhen London bridge came falling down
I Emsaw you through the flames
And for a Bmsecond I convinced myself, it's Gbetter if I stay
But Dwhat would you have thought of love
If Gyou had watched us burn
Would you Bmgrow up and think a bridge on fire Gis what you deserve?
[Pre-Chorus]
And Emhere you are the Abest of us
With a Embigger heart than the Arest of us

[Verse 1]

Jack and Jill went up the hill

A bucket full of dreams

When the morning came

They carved their names into the cherry tree

But the hill was built on quicksand

And it all came tumblin' down

Bm G

So they held onto the only thing they couldn't live without

[Pre-Chorus]

Em A

And here you are the best of us

Em A

With a bigger heart than the rest of us

[Chorus]

G D

I'm so sorry

A Bm

I couldn't give you the perfect story

G D

A textbook happy ending

Where nobody here gets hurt

G D

But don't you worry

A Bm

Your daddy and your mommy

G D

May be a little broken

F#m

But not our love for you

Oh our love for you

Em D A

Can move the ear-rrr-rrth

Em D A

Ooh ooh ooh

[Verse 2]

When London bridge came falling down

I saw you through the flames

Bm G

And for a second I convinced myself, it's better if I stay

But what would you have thought of love

If you had watched us burn

Bm G

Would you grow up and think a bridge on fire is what you deserve?

[Pre-Chorus]

Em A

And here you are the best of us

Em A

With a bigger heart than the rest of us

[Chorus]

G D

I'm so sorry

A Bm

I couldn't give you the perfect story

G D

A textbook happy ending

Where nobody here gets hurt

G D

But don't you worry

A Bm

Your daddy and your mommy

G D

May be a little broken

F#m

But not our love for you

Oh our love for you

Em D A

Can move the ear-rrr-rrth

Em D A

Oh the ear-rrr-rrth

[Outro]

Em D

And I never had to wonder

A Em

I don't regret what we've been through

Don't have to look no further

A Em D A

The answer's here it's yoo-oo-oou
