A5        C5
hello my old heart 
F5            F5
how have you been 
A5             C5            F5       F5
are you still there inside my chest? 
A5           C5
I've been so worried 
F5              F5
you've been so still 
A5     C5          F5     F5
barely beating at all 


G5   A5       C5                  F5   
oh,    don't leave me here alone 
       C5                  F5            
don't tell me that we've grown 
                   G5           A5
for having loved a little while 
G5   A5         C5               F5
oh,    I don't want to be alone 
     C5                F5
I want to find a home 
               G5                D5
and I want to share it with you 


A5 C5 F5
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 


G5   A5       C5                  F5   
oh,    don't leave me here alone 
       C5                  F5            
don't tell me that we've grown 
                   G5           A5
for having loved a little while 
G5   A5         C5               F5
oh,    I don't want to be alone 
     C5                F5
I want to find a home 
               G5                D5
and I want to share it with you 


A5 C5 F5
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. 

D5            C5
nothing lasts forever 
     D5                C5
some things aren't meant to be 
      D5                  A5
but you'll never find the answer 
           A5          G5
until you set your old heart free 
          F5            F5
until you set your old heart free


Ending:  C5 F5 C5 F5 A5 F5 C5
