 G Em 

                    G                               Em
You try and try to erase   That lonely look on your face 
                   G                             Em
You try and try to pretend   Soon it's all gonna end
                   C                        D
You cry a few more tears    Into a few more beers
C                 D                               G
The days turn to weeks    And the weeks feel like years 

                            G
That's what breaking hearts do 
                            Em
That's what breaking hearts do 
                       C                   D
They cause you so much pain  Make you go insane 
                            G
That's what breaking hearts do 

                      G                      Em
Every time you try to walk    In circles you walk 
                      G                      Em
Every time you try to talk    In circles you talk
                C                               D

You can't think straight    Your mind starts to spin 
C              D                                  G           
You can try to fight it    But you know you can't win

D              C
Feel like your hands are tied 
G                        D
Bound up, strapped down, busted inside 
D                      C
Don't have the will to find your way 
        G                   C            D
And you don't think you can take it even one more day 

                               G
They keep you looking out your window 
                            Em
They keep you checking your phone 
                         C                           D
You hear a sound at your door   You walk across that floor
                           G
But you're still there all alone 

                            G
That's what breaking hearts do 
                            Em
That's what breaking hearts do 
                       C                   D
They cause you so much pain  Make you go insane 
                            G
That's what breaking hearts do  
 
                       C
They cause you so much pain 
                 D
They make you go insane
                            C   G 
That's what breaking hearts do
