[Intro]
C  G  D  Em
            x4
Em  D   G   Am7
[Verse]
Em                        D              G   Am7
  I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
     Em                      D              G   Am7
Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in 
    Em               D           G   Am7
Cos I got time while she got freedom
    Em                        D            G   Am7
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even
Em                      D          G    Am7
  Her best days will be some of my worst 
Em                  D                G        Am7
  She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
      Em                   D          G    Am7
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
    Em                        D            G      Am7
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no
[Chorus]
C         G                         D                   Em              C
  What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you, and
        G                          D                  Em             C
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're OK, yeah
    G          D  Em   C
I'm falling to pieces, yeah 
    G          D  Em
I'm falling to pieces 
[Instrumental]
Em   D   G   Am7
[Verse]
     Em                    D           G Am7
They say bad things happen for a reason 
    Em                  D                G  Am7
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
    Em                   D              G   Am7
Cos she's moved on while I'm still grieving 
    Em                        D            G     Am7
And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no
[Chorus]
C         G                         D                   Em              C
  What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you, and
