Intro:
G       D/F# G   Em C G

Verse:
Em          F#          G   C              G
I swore the days were over, courting empty dreams
Em          F#     G        C           G
I worshiped at the altar of losing everything
        Em      F#      G        C
And the guard I held together is losing all its shape
        Em                 G             C           G
And in my head you look so gorgeous, it’s keeping me awake

Chorus:

        Em   F#     G           C         G
There’s a scar on my soul, so let me down easy
C               G       Em      F#      C
Break my heart sweetly, like you always do
 Em      F#          G          C         G
I guess I can’t let go til you wreck me completely
C               D/F#    C           G
Break my heart sweetly, drape me in blue


Interlude:
G       D/F# G   Em C G


Verse:

Em          F#          G       C                G
I was never scared of nothing, I thought I had a home
Em          F#        G             C            G
Life went and broke me open, cause I carried it alone
           Em       F#          G        C
I’m finding all this well worn sadness I never knew I kept
            Em             G               C              G
And I still chase you into heartache every time you take a step



Chorus:

        Em   F#     G           C         G
There’s a scar on my soul, so let me down easy
C               G       Em      F#      C
Break my heart sweetly, like you always do
 Em      F#          G          C         G
I guess I can’t let go til you wreck me completely
C               D/F#    C           G
Break my heart sweetly, drape me in blue


Interlude:
G       D/F# G   Em C G

Verse:
Em          F#        G    C               G
I swore the days were over, courting empty dreams
Em          F#     G        C              G
I worshiped at the altar of losing everything
             Em    F#      G         C
And you had a halo made of diamonds, resting on your head
             Em            G                C               G
I should be dealing with my demons, but I’m dodging them instead




Chorus:

        Em   F#     G           C         G
There’s a scar on my soul, so let me down easy
C               G       Em      F#      C
Break my heart sweetly, like you always do
 Em      F#          G          C         G
I guess I can’t let go til you wreck me completely
C               D/F#    C           G
Break my heart sweetly, drape me in
