Seems like just yes ter day you were a part of me.

I used to stand so tall; I (G)used to be so strong.

Your arms a round me tight, (C5)ev ’ry thing, it (G)felt so right, so un break a ble, like (G)noth ing could go wrong.

Now (C)I can’t breathe, no, (Am)I can’t sleep.

I’m (C)bare ly hang ing on.

Here I (Am)am once a (F)gain.

I’m (C)torn in to (G)piec es, can’t de (Am)ny it, can’t pre (F)tend.

Just (C)thought you were the (G)one.

Bro ken (Am)up deep in (F)side, but (D5)you won’t get to see the tears I (Am)cry

be (G)hind these ha zel eyes.

I told you ev ’ry thing, opened up and let you in.

You made me feel all right for (G)once to in my life.

Now all that’s left of me (C5)is what I pre (G)tend to be: so to geth er, but so (G)bro ken up in side, ’cause (C)I can’t breathe, no, (Am)I can’t sleep.

(Dm)Swal low me then spit me out.

For (Dm)hat ing you I blame my self.

(Dm)See ing you, it kills me now.

No, I don’t cry on the out side an y more,

Here I (Am)am once a (F)gain.

I’m (C)torn in to (G)piec es, can’t de (Am)ny it, can’t pre (F)tend.

Just (C)thought you were the (G)one.
