verse :
 
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 


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 :

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 
 

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, weâ??ve got to let it go 


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 
C                     G/B        Em         Cadd9     D        intro chords (end: G) 
Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can break your heart
