Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
1.Don’t  speak of my heart, it hurts too much  -- hurts  to touch
I’m  writing the book each and every day
Take  a look at my face, I still need  -- I  still bleed
I’ve  been running on empty  since you went away.
 1st Chorus
The  spirit world  looks down  on us
Sad  that we’re apart
 So please  don’t  speak of my heart.
 2. Whenever we talk she says hang on -- just hang on
 Meanwhile I’m drowning in the pouring rain
 And each time we meet there’s a sad farewell -- sad farewell
 She tells me someday I’m gonna love again.
 2nd Chorus (same chords as 1st Chorus)
 The way that she walked out on me
 Still tears me apart
 So please don’t speak of my heart.
Every  day’s an endless  maze of dreams  that fade and die
No  one believed  we were saying  ‘Goodbye’
And  every night I think  of you I’m  still left wondering why
I  can’t believe  that we’re saying goodbye.
And  when I wake up in the morning
And  wonder where I’m going  to
It  all came without a warning
What’s  a man supposed to  do?
Don’t  let your heart break down
Don’t  let your heart break down.
 Repeat 1st Verse
The  spirit world  looks down  on us,
Sad  that we’re apart
Don’t  wanna talk  about it -- don’t  make me think  about it
So  please don’t speak  of my heart.
