        E
It's the little things
   C#m           A                  E
They pulled me in now I'm defenseless
 E                    C#m            A                 E
I try to ignore like I've done before but it's just useless


Pre-chorus:

          B                   A               E
I've made up my mind that I'm gonna let you in
         B                A 
And I'm not afraid but I have to say


Chorus:

               E               B
This is gonna hurt if it ever ends
                     A                E
But somehow you have shattered my defense
               E                B
This is gonna hurt if it ever starts
                     A               E       C#m A E 
So promise you'll be careful with my heart


Verse 2: same chords as verse 1

It's the things you do
They made me fall hard for you and I can't help it
And it's every day that I feel this way
So just don't stop it

Bridge 2: same chords as bridge 1

I've made up my mind that I'm gonna let you in 
And I'm not afraid but I have to say

Chorus 2: slight difference at the end

This is gonna hurt if it ever ends
But somehow you have shattered my defense
This is gonna hurt if it ever starts
                     A               E       C#m
So promise you'll be careful with my heart


Bridge:

                   F#m
I won't make excuses
                    A
They just all seem useless
                   E
You don't have the time
C#m                 F#m
I guess I'll take my chances
                F#             A
now that I know love is on the line

Chorus 3: same as chorus 2

This is gonna hurt if it ever ends
But somehow you have shattered my defense
This is gonna hurt if it ever starts
                     A                E         C#m
So promise you'll be careful with my heart


Outro:

A                E     C#m
Careful with my heart
A                E
Careful with my heart
