Tuning:Standard
Key: F Major
The harmony (chord progression) throughout the song is very colorful. To say it
differently, the instruments and melody give the song a different feel than
other songs with the same (or similar) chord progression, thus playing regular
chords will not replicate the mood of the song well.
Note: If you cannot play barre chords very well, try putting a capo on the 1st
fret and transpose (using the transpose button on this page) down one half step
(to E major).

Verse 1
Th[F]ere is not a single w[Dm]ord
in the whole wo[F]rld that could describe the h[Dm]urt,
The dullest knife just s[Bb]awing back and forth,
and ripping through the so[Gm]ftest skin there e[C]ver was
Prechorus
[(C)]How were you to kn[Bb]ow? Oh, how were you to kn[C]ow?
Chorus
And [F]I, I hate to see your heart break,
I hate to see your e[Bb]yes get darker as they close,
but I[Gm]'ve been there be[C]fore. (2x)
Verse 2
Lo[F]ve happens all the t[Dm]ime,
to people who aren't k[F]ind, and heroes who are bl[Dm]ind,
Expecting perfect scr[Bb]ipted movie scenes.
Who wants an awkward sil[Gm]ence myst[C]ery?
(Prechorus, Chorus, Bridge)
Bridge
[(Dm)]For all the a[F]ir that's in your lu[C]ngs,[Dm]
For all the j[F]oy that is to c[C]ome,
For all the things that y[Bb]ou're alive to feel,
Just let the pain re[C]mind you hearts can heal.
