[Intro]
A F#m D D E  x2


[Verse 1]
A       F#m     D
  I let down my guard
    D       E
And let you see me
A   F#m           D
  I showed you my heart
            E
And now I'm sorry
A      F#m        D
  Head first into you
  D       E   A
I fell in too deep
       F#m          D
Mighty much I could do
    D         E
But watch you leave me


[Refrain 1]
Bm                 E
  I've tried But I can't
                  Bm
Yes I don't understand
    Bm
The meaning of
Bm          D E
letting you go


[Chorus 1]
      A             D
I'm a heart with no beat
       Bm          E
Fading fast by the hour
A           D
Flailing in circles
   Bm         D
A struggle to breathe
   E  A           D
Butterfly with no wings
     Bm           E
A fragile wilting flower
A        D          Bm
Baby without you it seems
      D
I'm a fish out of water


[Verse 2]
A         F#m
  Thought you were the
D   D     E
one I was dreaming
A      F#m           D
  What I thought was love
     D       E
Just left me empty
A    F#m          D
  No turning back time
   D       E
No more pretending
A    F#m       D
  No rainbow inside
   D     E
No happy ending


[Refrain 2]
Bm
  Though I try
       E
I'm confused
        E
With a star without
   Bm
you  My world has been
Bm            D  E
turned upside down


[Chorus 2]
      A             D
I'm a heart with no beat
       Bm          E
Fading fast by the hour
A           D
Flailing in circles
   Bm         D
A struggle to breathe
   E  A           D
Butterfly with no wings
     Bm           E
A fragile wilting flower
A        D          Bm
Baby without you it seems
      D    E
I'm a fish out of water


[Bridge]
D        E
  I've surrendered
         D
to the unconscious
        F#m
You are haze the
     E        D
that grips my mind
             E
I opened the floor gates
E               Bm
Heard some slow motion
         D
Baby I'm running out of
E   A F#m D D   E
time        And I've
A    F#m     D
tried   Uh uh


[Chorus 3]
      A             D
I'm a heart with no beat
       Bm          E
Fading fast by the hour
A           D
Flailing in circles
   Bm         D
A struggle to breathe
   E  A           D
Butterfly with no wings
     Bm           E
A fragile wilting flower
A        D          E
Baby without you it seems
      E
I'm a fish out of water


[Chorus 4]
      A             D
I'm a heart with no beat
       Bm          E
Fading fast by the hour
A           D
Flailing in circles
   Bm         D
A struggle to breathe
   E  A           D
Butterfly with no wings
     Bm           E
A fragile wilting flower
A        D          Bm
Baby without you it seems
      D    E      A
I'm a fish out of water
