(Chorus) 
A               E                   Bm 
I tear my heart open, I sow myself shut 
            D                     A 
My weakness is that I care too much 
                E                    Bm 
My scars remind me that the past is real 
                D     E      F#m 
I tear my heart open just to feel 
 
 
 
(verse 1) 
                      C#m 
Drunk and I'm feeling down 
                      D 
And I just wanna be alone 
                             E 
I'm pissed cause you came around 
                      F#m 
Why don't you just go home 
                            C#m 
Cause you channel all your pain 
                          D 
And I can't help to fix myself 
                 E 
Your making me insane 
 
All I can say is 
 
 
 
(Chorus) 
A               E                   Bm 
I tear my heart open, I sow myself shut 
            D                     A 
My weakness is that I care too much 
                E                    Bm 
My scars remind me that the past is real 
                D     E      F#m 
I tear my heart open just to feel 
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
                     C#m 
I tried to help you once 
                D 
Against my own advise 
                 E 
I saw you going down 
                F#m 
But you never realized 
                          C#m 
That your drowning in the water 
                  D 
I offered you my hand 
                    E 
Compassions in my nature 
                      A 
Tonight is our last stand 
 
 
 
 
(Chorus) 
A               E                   Bm 
I tear my heart open, I sow myself shut 
            D                     A 
My weakness is that I care too much 
                E                    Bm 
My scars remind me that the past is real 
                D     E      D 
I tear my heart open just to feel

([D]) 
I can't help you fix yourself 
E 
But at least I can say I tried 
A      A/F#                  F#m          E 
   I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life 
D                                E 
   I can't help you fix yourself 
                          F#m 
But at least I can say I tried

I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
