Words Can Break Your Heart - Don Henley
INTRO: G Gsus4 G Dsus4/G (x2)
VERSE 1:
G Gsus4 G Dsus4/G
A little time, a little distance, a little space to think
G Gsus4 Am7 C
Might be all we need, right now
G Am7 G/B Am7
I don't know if we've had too much, or not enough to drink
Em Dsus4 D
But, we've got to get over this, somehow
CHORUS:
C G/B Am7 G/B
It only takes a breath or two, to tear your world apart
C G/B Em Cadd9 D G Gsus4 G Am/G
Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can break your heart
VERSE 2:
G Gsus4 G Dsus4/G
Cutting words from careless lips, softly spoken
G Gsus4 Am7 Cadd9/D
Oh, you can do damage and never scream or shout
G Am7 G/B Am7
Emotions get the best of us; we say things we don't mean
Em Dsus4 D
And it's too late to take 'em back once they're out
CHORUS:
C G/B Am7 G/B
It only takes a breath or two, to tear your world apart
C G/B Em Cadd9 D G G
Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can break your heart
BRIDGE:
Bb Am G Bb Am Am D
Oh, can we just start over? Nobody won; what's done is done, we’ve got to let it go
FINAL CHORUS:
C G/B Am7 G/B
It only takes a breath or two, to tear your world apart
C G/B Em Cadd9 D G - G/A - G/B
Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can break your heart
