Am                   F
Packing up my love, feel it in my gut
             C                  Em
All of your memories twisted inside of me
Am                       F
Nothing I can hold, I'm no good on my own
             C                       Em          F
You got the best in me, and I gotta missing piece

                                 G
You stole a part of me when you left
                          Em
Nothing but a hole in my chest
                                Am
Now you're coming back for the rest

Chorus:
G/B                  C  G/B       Am
You took what you wanted, every promise
G          F                   G
Every goodnight gone with goodbye
                C       G/B                Am
Left me in the darkness, love me 'til I'm heartless
G          F        Fm            C
Now all I got is an empty heart-shaped box

Watching souvenirs start to disappear
Used to be heart broke (Heart)
And now I'm just hollow (Hollow)

Took the tears from my eyes, now I can't even cry
They said, "Give it time"
But it's still not easy, it's still not easy

Chorus

 Am      G
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
F
Left me with nothing
 Am      G
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
F
And I gave you everything
 Am  G   F
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Chorus
