The redness of his face permits
The truth his words won't dare admit
His sunken eyes are hid behind a darkened lens

Chorus:
Dm     Bbsus2                F
Broken doors and thoughtless words
                C
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn
Dm    Bbsus2                F
Feeble threats and loveless debts
               C
Prove nothing when she steals your breath

Verse:
Bbsus2               C
She stands tall with strength; not height
Dm                     F
You can see the fists inside her eyes
Bb                    C
Now it's time for her revenge,
Dm
Delivered acid tongue
F
God pity/help him

Bb       C              Dm
She sits there in the aftermath
      Bb       C              Dm
As the cars are driving slowly past


Chorus:
Dm     Bbsus2                F
Broken doors and thoughtless words
                C
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn
Dm    Bbsus2                F
Feeble threats and loveless debts
               C
Prove nothing when she steals your breath



Bb                    C
She sits there in the aftermath
    Dm                    F
And listens as cars drive slowly past
Bb        C
His final show, his lies
          Dm
Have done nothing but cure her smile


            Bb        C
(Her bruises fade from black to blue)
Dm              F
Over time, they slowly heal
                Bb       C    
(You think you've grown, found love again)    Dm
                         When you break your own heart, it will never mend


Chorus:
Dm     Bbsus2                F
Broken doors and thoughtless words
                  C
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn
Dm     Bbsus2                F
Feeble threats and loveless debts
               C
Prove nothing when she steals your breath


Dm     Bbsus2                F     C
Broken doors and thoughtless words
Dm     Bbsus2                F     C
Feeble threats and loveless debts

Dm     Bbsus2                F
Broken doors and thoughtless words
                  C
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn
Dm     Bbsus2                F
Feeble threats and loveless debts
               C                             Bb
Prove nothing when she steals your breath
