Dm C Bb Dm F Bb

Verse 1:
          Dm        C          Bb
I've been praying, asking God for help
      Dm        F                   Bb
But lately, it feels like I've been talking to myself
         Dm           C          Bb
I've been waiting for life to get better
      Dm                 C
And I need to cry but I'm afraid to cry
         Bb                       Dm C Bb
'Cause I just might cry forever

Verse 2:
                 Dm     C               Bb
Ooh, sometimes I wonder if it's all just chance
             Dm            C       Bb
And I'm just spinning on a planet, being told to dance
         Dm  F    Bb
And hallelujah is just another word
             Dm             C
When you're empty, lost and broken
         Bb
It don't take away the hurt

Chorus:
                Dm   Bb
And I don't know why
F                 C
Why it's gotta be so damn hard
Dm Bb    F         C
Why..... it always falls apart
Dm Bb    F                  C
Why.....I always cry when I see the stars
Gm           F            Bb
Careful now, fragile hearts
          C                        Dm C Bb  Dm C Bb
We're all living in a house of cards

Verse 3:
                 Dm        C              Bb
Ooh, and I still miss you, and I want you back
       Dm                  C
And I'm out here under the mirror moon
Bb
Digging up the past
           Dm   C           Bb
And I'm a dreamer, and what nobody knows
                                       Dm
Is deep in my soul, I'm scared half to death
                          C
There's is a voice in my head:
                   Bb
"You've got to get better, it's now or it's never"
          Dm           C
Not good enough, good enough, oh
     Bb                            F C Bb
Just shut up, shut up, shut up, yeah
  F  Bb    F C Bb  F C Bb
Ooh

Chorus:
                 Dm Bb
And I don't know why
F                 C
Why it's gotta be so damn hard
Dm Bb   F
Why.... it always falls apart
Dm Bb   F                   C
Why.... I always cry when I see the stars
Gm           F           Bb C
Careful now, fragile hearts
Gm           F           Bb
Careful now, fragile hearts
           C                      Dm C Bb  Dm C Bb
