(Continue playing Riff 2 through the first verse)
Am C
hello my old heart
F F
how have you been
Am C F F
are you still there inside my chest?
Am C
I've been so worried
F F
you've been so still
Am C F F
barely beating at all
G Am C F
oh, don't leave me here alone
C F
don't tell me that we've grown
G Am
for having loved a little while
G Am C F
oh, I don't want to be alone
C F
I want to find a home
G Dm
and I want to share it with you
Am C F
hello my old heart
it's been so long
since I've given you away
and every day I add another stone
to the walls I built around you
to keep you safe
G Am C F
oh, don't leave me here alone
C F
don't tell me that we've grown
G Am
for having loved a little while
G Am C F
oh, I don't want to be alone
C F
I want to find a home
G Dm
and I want to share it with you
Am C F
hello my old heart
how have you been?
how is it, being locked away?
well don't you worry
in there, you're safe
and it's true, you'll never beat
but you'll never break
Dm C
nothing lasts forever
Dm C
some things aren't meant to be
Dm Am
but you'll never find the answer
Am G
until you set your old heart free
F F
until you set your old heart free
Ending: C F C F Am F C
