Capo on 1st fret
              
 
 
                 C 
You've been let down, it's true 
                 F 
Your pain is so easy to see 
                  G 
You're haunted by your history 
        F                       C 
And it feels like you've got no escape 
 
               C 
Your life left you high and dry 
               F 
You used to be sure of yourself 
                    G 
But then your whole world went to hell 
     F                       C 
And tomorrow looks just like today 
 
                   F 
So you lie on your bed, 
              G           C 
Won't let the morning come in 
                    F 
And you hide in your room, 
               G                  C 
Feeling that fear and it's killing you 
          C                        F 
Don't you know that it's killing me too? 
            G                     C 
'Cause your heartbreak is breaking you 
 
(Same chords as the first verse) 
I miss the light in your eyes 
The home that I'd found in your arms 
But now you don't know who you are 
But I won't give up on you 
 
But you lie on your bed, 
Won't let the morning come in 
And you hide in your room, 
Feeling that fear and it's killing you 
Don't you know that it's killing me too? 
'Cause your heartbreak is breaking you
