You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive

And now you want me one more time.
C                                          G
And who do you think you are?
                                        Am

Runnin' 'round leaving scars
                                      F

Collecting your jar of hearts
         Fm                  C

And tearing love apart
                                     G

You're gonna catch a cold
                                          Am

From the ice inside your soul
                                        F

So don't come back for me
Fm                                 C

Who do you think you are?
Am  C  G  Dm...
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
Dm                         F           G
And I've learned to live half alive
Dm                  F                      G

And now you want me one more time
C  G  Am  F...
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
Am                  E               C       D
And it took so long just to feel alright
Am                        E                 C              D

Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
   Am           E                     C                 D

I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
            Am           E           C    D

'Cause you broke all your promises
F

And now you're back
                          E

You don't get to get me back
C  G  Am  F...
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
C  G  Am  F...
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Dm                               C
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

2am; where do I begin,

I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.

Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again.
Em   D   G      C
Broken pieces of
     Em  D  G          Am  G

A barely breathing story
Em        D     G            C

Where there once was love
Em     D        G   Am             B7

Now there's only me and the lonely.
Em  B  C  G  B7...
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again.
