Gm*
The world is a marble heart
Too fragile, too broken
Left without nothing but our bags to hold on to
Yeah out in the daylight
                    D#
And out of the jungle
                                      D
We could have been, we should have been
What your heart couldn't handle

Gm               D
Feel like I need, to forget you
Gm           C
Runaway girl, 'cause I let you
D#
Now you found some other man, you see
     D
I'm better off without you, 'cause the man ain't me!

Chorus:
Gm     F
(My oh my) I'm going right now
Gm          F
(Right all right) To the beginning
Gm        F                            D#
(Why oh why) What you denied from the start
                D
(My oh my) And now you can't go breaking my heart, yeah
Gm          F
(Right all right) Woah-waa-ooh
Gm        F
(Why oh why)
D                                 Gm
And now you can't go breaking my heart

The world is a marble heart;
It's bullshit and we know it
Like a flower sheltered in stone
With no chance of re-growing
Like push comes to shove
Like I'm out on your doorstep
We could have been, we should have been
With only my soul left

Feel like I need (woah), to forget you
Run away girl, 'cause I let you
Now you found some other man, you see
I'm better off without you, 'cause the man ain't me!

Chorus:
(My oh my) I'm going right now
(Right all right) To the beginning
(Why oh why) What you denied from the start
(My oh my) And now you can't go breaking my heart, yeah
(Right all right) Woah- waa -ooh
(Why oh why) And now you can't go breaking my heart

Gm
(H-heart h-heart)
Now you can't go breaking my heart (h-heart h-heart)
Now you can't go breaking my heart, ooh
(Bre-bre-bre) breaking my heart
And now you, now you can't go breaking
Now you can't go breaking my heart

D#               F
Feel like I need, to forget you
D/F#          Gm
Run away girl, 'cause I let you
D#                 Cm
Now you found some other man, you see
D#                Gm
Now you found some other man, you see
    Cm7                                     F
I'm better off without you, 'cause the man ain't...

Chorus:
Now you can't go breaking my heart
(My oh my) I'm going back now
(Right all right) To the beginning
(Why oh why) What you denied from the start
(My oh my) And now you can't go breaking my heart, yeah
(Right all right) Woah
(Why oh why) And now you can't go breaking my heart
