Tom : Ab
Ab
Fool you made the girl fall in love
Ab/G
you said those beautiful things
F# C#
she thought you spoke things you mean
Ab
Caress her skin like it's glass
Ab/G
she hears your voice making plans
F# C#
and sees your face in her hands
C# Eb Fm
You don't wanna see somebody beg
Ab C#
as you feel her heart surrender
C#/C Bbm C
you begin to fall
C# Eb Fm
How do you say that something's through
Ab C#
when it never even started
C#/C Bbm C#
at least not for you
Ab
You breathe her air and you leave
Ab/G
you keep your mind on yourself
F# C#
and lie the glass on the shelf
Ab
After the heavenly speech
Ab/G
your body throws holy heat
F# C#
the angels sing when our eyes meet
C# Eb Fm
It wasn't a lie but it wasn't true
Ab C#
I just wanted to make you feel good
C#/C Bbm C
just wanted you near
C# Eb Fm
I wasn't prepared I wasn't thinking of you
Ab C#
that you could actually love me
C#/C Bbm C#
it never should have started
Ab
She's dreaming back on the past
Ab/G
every opinion agreed
F# C#
doesn't know what to believe
Ab
It must have been for a cause
Ab/G
our lives have so many doors
F# C#
don't think about him anymore
C# Eb Fm
But it was the kiss, it took me away
Ab C#
it's like he knew that I am fragile
C#/C Bbm C
he handled me like glass
C# Eb Fm
and it hurts but it's what I deserve
Ab C#
because I should have been more careful
C#/C Bbm
with the others that I handled
C
I should have been more
C# Eb
and knowing this I know
Fm
that he'll get his
Ab C#
but I don't want the man to suffer
C#/C Bbm C
oh not the way I am
C# Eb Fm
because deep down I know that he's glass too
Ab C#
but it really doesn't matter
C#/C Bbm
until it's happening to you
C# Eb Ab Ab/G F#
everybody Breaks everybody breaks
C# Ab
sometimes
