Ben Lee - How to Survive a Broken Heart

There's a D>Dsus2 pattern that he plays in the intro and a couple times throughout.

Intro:

D  Dsus2 x4

Verse 1:

D                 G             D
I should let this go but I just can't
    D               G              D
And now it's just a lesson I can't grasp
   D                 G                 D
So what's really the best that I could do
   D               G             D
To hope to see you every year or two

Chorus:

        Bm
And the things you said
        A
Do they still make sense
          G
Could you mean them now
        D              Bm
Did you even mean them then
        A                G
I could torture myself insane and tense
                     D
But I don't have the strength

Verse 2:

      D                 G                  D
I'm crushed in pain you drifted through my life
    D            G                D
But even looking back I know it's right
  D                 G                   D
I gave you my heart scared complete and whole
     D            G                D
When all you ever asked for was my soul

Chorus:

            Bm
And there's nothing left
      A
But a song or two
          G
That mean not a thing
     D                   Bm
If I can't play them for you
           A                    G
If I could hear your voice just one more time
             D
Maybe I'd be fine

      Bm
But I guess I won't
           A
Cause it's too late now
      G
And I guess you're gone
           D
Cause it's too late now
        Bm
And the pain I feel
       A
Is all I can take
           G
Maybe this turn of karma
D
Is too late
      Bm
Maybe I was wrong
      A                 G
Maybe I was caught in a net of passion
D           Bm
Maybe I was caught
                       A
Maybe I should take it all with salt
         G                      D
And soon I'll believe that it's not my fault
         Bm
And it's not my fault
         A
And it's not my fault
         G
And it's not my fault
         D
And it's not my fault
         Bm
And it's not my fault
         A
And it's not my fault
     G
If I say it enough
                              D
I'll believe that it's not my fault
