All the verses are basically the same, but I wrote them all out because they're not easy to memorize.] [I'm pretty unsure about a lot of these chords, especially in the bridge. Any suggestions are more than welcome.] [The C's and Em's with * by them have an extra high G in them (pinky on the 3rd fret of the E string).] [Some unusual chord fingerings, and more comments, are at the end.] G Bm C Am7/D G Bm C Am7/D [intro] G Bm C Am7/D G Bm C Am7/D An empty house, a broken fairy tale G Bm C Am7/D Em* Em* C* C/D A hollow girl with empty arms A7sus4 Em Am B7 Em* Em* >From an angel's tears, God made the stars A9/C# A9/C# C* C Am/D Am/D G Bm C Am7/D Why can't he make me an unbreakable heart G Bm C Am7/D [instrumental] G Bm C Am7/D G Bm C Am7/D In my blue world, you shone like heaven's fire G Bm C Am7/D Em* Em* C* C/D And left me crying in the dark A7sus4 Em Am B7 Em* Em* How could any - one be so hard A9/C# A9/C# C* C Am/D Am/D G C/G G G Did you think I had an unbreakable heart Ddim7/G# Am7 F#m7-5 Em - D C G/B Am G I suppose I should know sometimes love just comes and goes Ddim7/G# Am7 F#m7-5 Em - D A7 A7 C C/D But I believed, foolish me, we'd go on and on G Bm C Am7/D G Bm C Am7/D One day, someone will come to you G Bm C Am7/D Em* Em* C* C/D And rock you tight - ly in her arms A7sus4 Em Am B7 Em* Em* Please remember this when you drop your guard A9/C# A9/C# C* C Am/D Am/D G Bm C Am7/D Nobody has an unbreakable heart A7sus4 Em Am B7 Em* Em* >From an angel's wings to a falling star A9/C# A9/C# C* C Am/D Am/D G Bm C Am7/D G. God makes everything but unbreakable hearts CHORDS: Am7/D: xx0010 Em*: 022003 C*: x32013 C/D: xx0010 A7sus4: x02030 A9/C#: x42000 Am/D: xx0210 Ddim7: xx0101 or xx0131 F#m7-5: 2x2210 A couple other notes on the chords: 1) The C* and Em* chords probably aren't really played by the guitar; I just put them in because they echo the melody of the song. 2) The B7 isjust two quarter notes. The first doesn't include an F# on the high E string, the second does. (I.e., play x2120x, then x21202.) 3) In the bridge, where it goes Em - D, don't play the highest strings on either of those chords. (The D is more like D5.) 4) In the A9/C#, make sure you hit that C#, or it'll sound weird. 5) In the Em* chords before A9/C#, you can play the descending notes by moving your pinky from 3 down to 2 as you get toward the A9. - Adam Schneider, [email protected]
