Verse 1:
Your sweet little hands, brush right past me
Sometimes you don't understand, why you can't reach
I bite when I don't want to bend, how silent I can be
So she is silent to
Chorus:
E B D Asus4
She's the one who saw my words
E B F# D
Broken, torn at the seams
E B D Asus4
And broken words are all she heard
F# B (start picking)
Now she's walking away from me
Verse 2:
And some weren't meant, and some meant well
The difference between us is so, hard to tell
And I was so shaken but now, all I see
Is everything she meant to me
Chorus:
E B D Asus4
She's the one who saw my words
E B F# D
Broken, torn at the seams
E B D Asus4
And broken words are all she heard
F# B
Now she's walking away
(E is played as well as another guitar part but I just play the chorus without the words)
Chorus:
E B D Asus4
She's the one who saw my words
E B F# D
Broken, torn at the seams
E B D Asus4
And broken words are all she heard
F# B
Now she's walking away
E B D Asus4 E B F# D
E B D Asus4
And broken words are all she heard
F# B (End on E 5 times)
Now she's walking away
