 Let me hold  you
 For the last  time
 It's the last  chance to feel again
 But you broke  me
 Now I can't  feel anything
 When I love  you,
 It's so untrue
 I can't  even convince myself
 When I'm speaking,
 It's the voice  of someone else
 Oh it tears me up
 I try  to hold on,  but it hurts  too much
 I try  to forgive,  but it's not  enough to make  it all okay
 You can't play  on broken strings
 You can't feel  anything
 That your heart  don't want to feel
 I can't tell  you something that ain't real
 Oh the truth  hurts
 And lies  worse
How  can I give anymore
 When I love  you a little less  than  before
 Oh what are  we doing
 We are turning  into dust
 Playing house  in the ruins  of us
 Running back  through the fire
 When there's nothing  left to save
 It's like chasing  the very last  train when it's too late
 Oh it tears me up
 I try  to hold on,  but it hurts  too much
 I try  to forgive,  but it's not  enough to make  it all okay
 You can't play  on broken strings
 You can't feel  anything
 That your heart  don't want to feel
 I can't tell  you something that ain't real
 Oh the truth  hurts
 And lies  worse
How  can I give anymore
 When I love  you a little less  than before
 But we're running  through the fire
 When there's nothing  left to save
 It's like chasing  the very last train
 When we both  know it's too late (too  late)
 You can't play  on broken  strings
 You can't feel  anything
 That your heart  don't want to  feel
 I can't tell  you something that ain't real
 Well the  truth hurts
 And lies  worse
How  can I give anymore
 When I love  you a little less  than  before
 Oh when  I love you a little  less than  before
 Let me hold  you for the  last time
 It's the last  chance to feel again

Let me [Am]hold you
For the [C]last time
It's the [F]last chance to feel again
But you [Am]broke me
Now I [C]can't feel any[F]thing  [Dm]
When I [Am]love you,
It's so [C]untrue
I [F]can't even convince myself
When I'm [Am]speaking,
It's the [C]voice of someone [F]else [Dm]

Oh it [F]tears [G]me [Am]up
I [F]try to hold [G]on, but it [Em]hurts too much
I [F]try to for[G]give, but it's [Em]not enough to m[F]ake it all okay[C]

You can't [Dm]play on broken [Am]strings
You can't [C]feel any[G]thing
That your [Dm]heart don't want to [Am]feel
I can't [C]tell you something that ain't [G]real
Oh the [F]truth hurts
And [Am]lies worse
[C]How can I give any[G]more
When I [Dm]love you a little [Am]less than[G] before

Oh what [Am]are we [C]doing
We are [F]turning into dust
Playing [Am]house in the [C]ruins of [F]us   [Dm]
Running [Am]back through the [C]fire
When there's [F]nothing left to save
It's like [Am]chasing the very [C]last train when it's too [F]late [Dm]

Oh it [F]tears [G]me [Am]up
I [F]try to hold [G]on, but it [Em]hurts too much
I [F]try to for[G]give, but it's [Em]not enough to [F]make it all okay[C]

You can't [Dm]play on broken [Am]strings
You can't [C]feel any[G]thing
That your [Dm]heart don't want to [Am]feel
I can't [C]tell you something that ain't [G]real
Oh the [F]truth hurts
And [Am]lies worse
[C]How can I give any[G]more
When I [Dm]love you a little [Am]less than [G]before

But we're [Am]running through the [C]fire
When there's [F]nothing left to save
It's like [Am]chasing the very last [C]train
When we [F]both know it's too late ([Dm]too late)

You can't [Dm]play on broken[Am] strings
You can't [C]feel any[G]thing
That your [Dm]heart don't want to[Am] feel
I can't [C]tell you something that ain't [G]real
Well th[F]e truth hurts
And [Am]lies worse
[C]How can I give any[G]more
When I [Dm]love you a little [Am]less than[G] before
Oh when[Dm] I love you a litt[Am]le less tha[G]n before

Let me [Am]hold you for the[C] last time
It's the [F]last chance to feel [Dm]again
