Dm                       C
How did we end up like this
F                A#
Under a burning sky?
Dm                        C
Some things are better unsaid.
F               A#
It's easier to lie.

                     Dm              C
I'm burning, but my heart is on the wire.
                        F               A#
Don't need a thousand guards to lock me in.
                Dm              C
Doesn't take a fool to start a fire.
           F               A#
Solitary spark and wars begin.

                   Dm
You say it's only words
C                     A#
And that it will get easier with time.
                Dm
Nothing's only words
C
That's how hearts get hurt.

Chorus:
   F
I can't, I can't
   A#                         Dm
I can't stop hearing all the words you said
   C                          F
I can't stop hearing all the words you said
   A#                         Dm
I can't stop hearing all the words you said
   C                  Dm
I can't stop hearing words.
  C
That's how hearts get hurt.

How did it all come to this?
We started off as friends
It makes it easy to leave
If we're strangers by the end
I'm pulling but my heart is on the wire
Don't need a thousand guards to lock me in
Doesn't take a fool to start a fire
Solitary spark and wars begin

Say it's only words
And that it will get easier with time
Nothings only words
That's how hearts gets hurt

Chorus:
I can't, I can't, I can't stop hearing
All the words we said
I can't stop hearing
All the words we said
I can't stop hearing
All the words we said
I can't stop hearing words
That's how hearts get hurt

                    Dm
You say it's only words
C                     A#
And that it will get easier with time.
                 Dm
Nothing's only words
C
That's how hearts get hurt.

                   Dm
You say it's only words
C                     A#
And that it will get easier with time.
                 Dm
Nothing's only words
C
That's how hearts get hurt.

Chorus:
I can't, I can't, I can't stop hearing
All the words we said
I can't stop hearing
All the words we said
I can't stop hearing
All the words we said
Let's stop using word
That's how hearts get hurt
