Am                                 C 
Did you think that I'd just slowly start to fade 
F                                               C 
You could steal my livelihood and send me on my way 
Am                               C 
I know it's old but I was caught out in the rain 
F                                          C 
So I rested under a bridge 
         F                                     C 
And I made some new friends 
         F                             C 
And I wept, and I wept. 
 
 
Am                                    C 
Did you really think that I'd just stand in line 
F                                   C 
Wait around for you until whatever time you'd like 
Am                           C                  
And I took the pieces of a broken heart 
         F                     C 
And I had no choice. 
 
 
C                         F     C 
Heartbreak on the 1-0-1 
C                         F     G 
Heartbreak on the 1-0-1 
      Am         C        F       G       Am       C       F         Fm 
I'm over it. 
 
 
C                           E 
You leave me more damaged everyday 
      F                                    Fm 
You took my entire world and threw it all away 
C                         E      
It's cold outside, I need a place to lay 
             F                                        Fm                         
So I rest beneath the bridge with the friends that I made. 
 
 
     C         -       
 
 
Am                               Em 
Couldn't really think that I'd just stand aside 
F                                      C 
Take up something new, or start another life 
Am                             Em 
Look at the pieces of a broken heart 
            F                          C 
And see what you can do. 
 
 
C                         F     C 
Heartbreak on the 1-0-1 
C                         F     G 
Heartbreak on the 1-0-1 
      Am         C        F       G       Am       C       F         Fm 
I'm over it. 
 
 
C                                      E 
You can't think that I'd just slowly fade away 
F                                            Fm 
You can put me on the sidewalk with a suitcase 
C                      E 
I know it's over and it sounds a bit cliche 
                      F 
But I want you back so bad 
              Fm                              C       -      
leave the pieces where they lay 
 
 
D                    F 
I pray for your return  
           Am 
There's no sight  
      C                                 D 
I'm sleeping with my one eye open 
F 
just in case you might  
       Am                         C                       F 
And though nothing ever works, it's just a waste of time 
          Fm                        C 
I can't seem to get it right 
 
 
C                         E 
Heartbreak on the 1-0-1 
F                                Fm 
Everybody's watching, come take a look 
C                         E 
Heartbreak on the 1-0-1 
F                         Em 
Everybody watch, everybody look 
C                         E 
Heartbreak on the 1-0-1 
F                                  Fm           C          E         F        Fm         C       
Heartbreak on the 1-0-1, heartbreak on the 1-0-1.
