verse:
Am          C

Am                        C
maybe we can take another spin around town
Dm                     Am        Dm                         G    Em
I'm not doing much for you, baby won't you tell me what you need
Am                                  C
you think I'm in the dark, yeah you think I can't see
    Am                               C
the trouble in your eyes when you're looking at me
Dm                        Am              E7
something feels different now and I can't breathe

chorus:
       F                   C
when I see you now I get a little unsteady
G                    Am
don't go breaking my heart before I'm ready
F                               C
you were trouble right from the start
                   Em    Am
you're breaking my heart
  F                                   C
I know it's going to leave me feeling heartsick and hollow
G                       Am
words won't make it any easier to swallow

whatever else you are, you're my favorite scar

interlude after first chorus:
Am G C F
C C E7 E7

verse 2 (same as 1):
first time I saw you I was broken and bruised
you were holding up the bar and I had nothing to lose
it's all a little hazy now
tell me when did we get so damn proud?
I made a few mistakes but I made them with you
and every time I said that we were going to pull through
something feels different now and it's not me

chorus 2 ends on Am, into the bridge

bridge:
Dm                        Am
maybe we can figure out a fix for this
Dm                    Am
maybe we can still be friends
      Dm          C           Bflatmaj7 (or just Bflat)
maybe this is the way that it ends

last verse (half verse):
F               C
all I want is a way to forget
           F                          C
we're only human and I'm not about to quit on us yet
Dm                    Am          E7
maybe if we take some time we can heal

outro=intro
F F C C
G G Am Am
F F C C
Em
