Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I remember the evening
You said you [C]were [D]leaving
[G]That's when I knew I [D]had lost
[Bb]No r[Gm]oom f[D]or forgiveness
[C]Suitcase, [D]frames, [C]pictures
[G]Placed in the back of [D]your [Bb]car
[Gm]I won't

[Verse 2]
[Em]tell my parents
how [G]I fucked up perfection
[D]And[Bm] selfishly put myself fir[A]st
[D]A f[A]uture of [Em]stories
[G]Kiss you good mornings
[D]Gone and it's what I deserve

[Verse 3]
[A]I can't find the wor[Em]ds to [Bm]say
[D]When someone asks how[Bm] you've bee[A]n
I don't know the [G]protocol
[D]For fix[Bm]ing a, fixing
a [A]broken [D]heart

[Verse 4]
[A]Whe[D]n m[A]y f[D]riends hear the rumours
They tell me they knew [G]that
You were bad [Bm]news [D]from the start
[Gm]Ever[D]y bar they take me
To try to matchmake me
[G]With someone who doesn't
[D]come clo[Gm]se, no[D]

[Verse 5]
[Em]You won't tell your mother,
[G]'cause she'll tell your father
[A]And tha[Bm]t's just one more
[D]broken [A]heart (one more broken heart)
[Em]A future of stories
[Bm]Adve[G]ntures and journ[A]eys
[Bm]On fire and falling apart

[Verse 6]
[A]I can't find the wor[G]ds to say
[D]When someone ask[Bm]s how you've bee[A]n
Don't know the [G]protocol
[D]For fix[Bm]ing a, fixing a bro[A]ken heart
Call [G]your [D]answerphone
Hope that you're [Bm]not at [A]home
I don't know the [G]protocol
[D]For fix[Bm]ing a, fixing a bro[A]ken hea[G]rt

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 7]
[A]
[Bm]When[A] I'm all[D] by myself
And the drink doesn't help
Take them [G]down from the shelf
[D]And[Bb] I'm reminded I keep fig[Gm]hting
[D]Wars in my head,
with the miles of regret
[C]'Cause I had[G] every let[A]ter but now
[Bm]I ca[A]n't find[D]

[Verse 8]
the [G]words to say
[D]When someone asks how[Bm] you've bee[A]n
Don't know the [G]protocol
[D]For fix[Bm]ing a, fixing a bro[A]ken heart
Call [G]your [D]answerphone
Hope that you're [Bm]not at [A]home
Don't know the [G]protocol
[D]For fix[Bm]ing a, fixing a bro[A]ken heart

[Verse 9]
[G](Fi[D]xin[Bm]g a, fixing a brok[D]en heart)[A][D]
