Continue playing Riff 2 through the first verse


Am        C
hello my old heart 
F            F
how have you been 
Am             C            F       F
are you still there inside my chest? 
Am           C
I've been so worried 
F              F
you've been so still 
Am     C          F     F
barely beating at all 


G   Am       C                  F   
oh,    don't leave me here alone 
       C                  F            
don't tell me that we've grown 
                   G           Am
for having loved a little while 
G   Am         C               F
oh,    I don't want to be alone 
     C                F
I want to find a home 
               G                Dm
and I want to share it with you 


Am C F
hello my old heart 
it's been so long 
since I've given you away 
and every day I add another stone 
to the walls I built around you 
to keep you safe 


G   Am       C                  F   
oh,    don't leave me here alone 
       C                  F            
don't tell me that we've grown 
                   G           Am
for having loved a little while 
G   Am         C               F
oh,    I don't want to be alone 
     C                F
I want to find a home 
               G                Dm
and I want to share it with you 


Am C F
hello my old heart 
how have you been? 
how is it, being locked away? 
well don't you worry 
in there, you're safe 
and it's true, you'll never beat 
but you'll never break 


Two Guitars sound best here. One strums a C chords while the other plays these chords. 

Dm            C
nothing lasts forever 
     Dm                C
some things aren't meant to be 
      Dm                  Am
but you'll never find the answer 
           Am          G
until you set your old heart free 
          F            F
until you set your old heart free


Ending:  C F C F Am F C
