             A
It's been a long day
         E              F#m
And I'm trying to figure   it out
     D                          E
The way those words left your mouth
         A                     E
I feel broken, shattered and blue
         F#m
And it's all because of you
          D                  E
And I'm trying, trying to figure it out

Chorus:
             A   E   F#m
If this is loooooooooove
                      D
Why does it break me down?
                     E
Why do you break me down?
             A   E   F#m
If this is loooooooooove
                       D
Why does it break me down?
                     E
Why do you break me down?

It's been a long time since
I've felt the way that I do now
Like I need you but I don't know how
It's been a while since I smiled
And I meant it for all my heart
But the idea of leaving this behind,
it tears me apart

Chorus

 A       E
Kiss me now
      F#m
And remind me why
  D               A        E
I ever wanted to make you mine
           A                      E
And even though it hurts in this moment
F#m
I've always known it
           D              A          E
You're the other half of my broken heart

Chorus

Even though it hurts in this moment
I've always known it
You're the other half of my broken heart
