C                                  G/B
In so many ways I tried to reach you
Am
And I dont know why I couldn't get through
         F
When I tried so hard to break your guard
                                  G
Didn't know it would leave this scar
             G
Leave this scar

Dm                    Am
Now I've made it this far
                   Em
And the pain isn't over
                      F
But the sun keeps on risin
                      C
And I keep getting stronger

Chorus:
C
I never thought that I'd survive you
           G/B  Am
But I will be free
Am
And there'll be so many nights I gotta get through
           F
But now I see
        F
You'll never be the end of me (no)
                         G
Cos when my world fell apart
                              G
And I didn't know where to start
             Am         G/B     C
I heard the sound of a broken heart
C
I still feel the pain
                        G/B    Am
I heard the sound of a broken heart
Am                      G/B
It still beats the same

When will the world start spinnin', yeah yeah?
And what happened to my happy ending?
Learning what it takes, to turn this page
Didn't know how to walk away, walk away

Now I've made it this far
And the pain isn't over
But the sun keeps on risin'
And I keep getting stronger

Chorus

F                 G
And I won't stay down I know my hearts still beating
Dm              Am                   G
Cos I hear the sound, tellin' me I'm alright
              C
Tellin me to move on

Chorus

C
Still feel the pain for you
                   G/B
Still beats the same
Am
Still feel the pain for you
                    G/B
Still beats the same
C
Still feel the pain for you
                   G/B
Still beats the same
Am
Still feel the pain for you
                    G/B  C
Still beats the same
