E5   A5   E5   A5   C#5  A5   B5

         E5    A5               E5
An empty house is the only thing standing
           B5            A5         E5
Between our lives and the speed of sound
     C#5   B5    E5  A5           E5
Some words flew out and made a crash landing
     B5                   A5             E5
No love survived - not a trace could be found

       C#5                      E5    E5 A5     A5
And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
                E5        A5       B5      E5        A5   C#5 A5  B5
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line

I walked away and you stood there trembling
Like a leaf in the autumn chill
Now this house won't say, no, what I'm still remembering
Three angry words and a love that they killed

And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
                                            E5     E5
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line

F#5                B5               E5        E5
  And you couldn't say how much it hurt you
F#5              B5                 E5        E5
  And I couldn't see the damage I'd done
A5                B5            Ab5        C#5
  Till I watched the greatest love I've known
F#5                               B5
  All come down to a slip of the tongue

Well I'd take it back but time won't let me
Oh time just takes you further away
I watched you pack a house full of memories
Where did you go? Lord, what did I say?

And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
                                            E5     A5
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line
                E5        A5       B5      E5         A5
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line
                   E5     B5              E5
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line
