Broken strings
De akkoorden in dit nummer
Am
Let me hold you
C
For the last time
F
It's the last chance to feel again
Am
But you broke me
C F Dm
Now I can't feel anything
Am
When I love you,
C
It's so untrue
F
I can't even convince myself
Am
When I'm speaking,
C F Dm
It's the voice of someone else
F G Am
Oh it tears me up
F G Em
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
F G Em F C
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay
Dm Am
You can't play on broken strings
C G
You can't feel anything
Dm Am
That your heart don't want to feel
C G
I can't tell you something that ain't real
F
Oh the truth hurts
Am
And lies worse
C G
How can I give anymore
Dm Am G
When I love you a little less than before
Am C
Oh what are we doing
F
We are turning into dust
Am C F Dm
Playing house in the ruins of us
Am C
Running back through the fire
F
When there's nothing left to save
Am C F Dm
It's like chasing the very last train when it's too late
F G Am
Oh it tears me up
F G Em
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
F G Em F C
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

You can't feel anything
Dm Am
That your heart don't want to feel
C G
I can't tell you something that ain't real
F
Oh the truth hurts
Am
And lies worse
C G
How can I give anymore
Dm Am G
When I love you a little less than before
Am C
But we're running through the fire
F
When there's nothing left to save
Am C
It's like chasing the very last train
F Dm
When we both know it's too late (too late)
Dm Am
You can't play on broken strings
C G
You can't feel anything
Dm Am
That your heart don't want to feel
C G
I can't tell you something that ain't real
F
Well the truth hurts
Am
And lies worse
C G
How can I give anymore
Dm Am G
When I love you a little less than before
Dm Am G
Oh when I love you a little less than before
Am C
Let me hold you for the last time
F Dm
It's the last chance to feel again

How to practise this song

Put your capo on fret 1
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
- 2
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open - 3
Practise the change: F ↔ Am
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
