Note: When playing this on acoustic guitar, I tune the B string (2nd string) up to a C, then Capo 3rd fret.
Transpose -3 if you do this.

Tear my heart open each night

But love it sings the strangest things
[Chorus 1]

Why are you here, Why do I fear
B F#
Anything to do with love, and you
F# C#/E#
Why do you stay, Just walk away

I am broken, With worries to fall
F# C# B F#
Down down down down down down

And there is gold in our hearts

That can mend a severed love
