Verse 1:
D MajorD
You were 43 when you got the news

Life will be changing, nothing we can do
       G+G
The clock ??is ticking now

??All I can think about
      D MajorD
Is knowing I have to move on without you somehow
  A augmentedA
And I just can't believe
   G+G               D MajorD
That you're the one who's keeping it together

As you hold my hand and say

Chorus:
   G+G
It's okay to cry, it's okay to fall apart
     D MajorD
You don't have to try, to be strong when you are not
      G+G
And it may take some time, to make sense of all your thoughts
     D MajorD
But don't ever fight your tears 'cause there is freedom in every drop
       A augmentedA               G+G
Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart
           D MajorD
Is when we fall apart


Verse 2:
     D MajorD
You ask me to sing, some songs that I wrote

But I can barely speak, can barely play a note
      G+G
All my tears rush in, falling on my strings
        D MajorD
And make the sound of these progressions have a different ring
    G+G                                D MajorD
And I hate to say goodbye, knowing this will be the last time we're together

As you close your eyes and say

Chorus:
    G+G
It's okay to cry, it's okay to fall apart
     D MajorD
You don't have to try, to be strong when you are not
     G+G
And it may take some time to make sense of all your thoughts
     D MajorD
But don't ever fight your tears 'cause there is freedom in every drop
       A augmentedA                G+G
Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart
           D MajorD
Is when we fall apart

D MajorD
Bridge:
      G+G
And you've got the gift of mercy, don't ever think it's strange
      D MajorD
Not a curse, but it is a blessing to feel other people's pain
      G+G
And always love without condition and trust with all your heart
    E minorEm              A minorAm
There's healing in the story of your scars


Verse 3:
      D MajorD
Well, it's been a while, since you've been gone

Sometimes I still catch myself trying to call your phone
    G+G
All the hopes and dreams, we used to talk about
        D MajorD
They're still alive in me, and I just hope I make you proud
  G+G                            D MajorD
Now I'm your legacy, and it's your love still holding me together

And I still hear you say


Chorus:
    G+G
It's okay to cry, it's okay to fall apart
     D MajorD
You don't have to try, to be strong when you are not
     G+G
And it may take some time to make sense of all your thoughts
     D MajorD
But don't ever fight your tears 'cause there is freedom in every drop
       A augmentedA                G+G
Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart
          D MajorD
Is when we fall apart (Yeah, yeah, it's okay to fall)
                       G+G
Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart
           D MajorD
Is when we fall apart
