Lyrics

(Bsus4)And

(E)if I lost the (Bsus4)map,

(E)if I lost it (Bsus4)all

or (E)fell in to the (Bsus4)trap

then she’d call:

“When you’re tired of rac

ing and you

find you nev er left the (E)start.

Come on

ba by, don’t (E)let it break your (Bsus4)heart.”

(Bsus4)Though

(E)heav i ly we (Bsus4)bled,

still on we (E)crawl.

Try to catch a can non (Bsus4)ball.

And a (G#m)slow

burn ing (G#m)tide.

Oh, (Bsus4)through my veins is flow ing,

from my ship wreck I heard her (Bsus4)call.

And she said…

“When you’re tired of aim

ing your ar rows,

still you nev er hit the (E)mark,

(B)oh,

and e ven in your rains

and shad ows,

still we’re nev er gon na (E)part.

(B)Ah.

Come on

ba by, don’t (E)let it break your (Bsus4)heart.”

Don’t let it break your (Bsus4)heart.

Don’t let it break your (E69)heart.

Don’t (E)let it break your (CN.C.)heart.
