Breakin At The Cracks

Colbie Caillat

Text File

Ok so I wanted to play this song exactly like Colbie and couldn't find any decent 
chord tabs for that, so I decided to tab this one myself...which took a lot of 
time (to get the chords all by ear) but, worth every second =)

PS: on the last chorus Colbie finger picks the strings instead of strumming but i 
haven't figured out the pattern yet
____________________________________________________________________________

First of all TUNING for this song is HALF STEP DOWN (D#,G#,C#,F#,A#,d#)

Chords used are: E F#m Abm B C#m Asus2

But they're not the simple chords, as Colbie uses some open forms of F#m, Abm, C#m 
and B. So I'll show you how to play every chord myself (C#m can be played both ways):

     E    F#m   Abm    B      C#m    Asus2
d#|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0---0--|--0--|
A#|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0---5--|--0--|
F#|--1--|--2--|--4--|--4--|--6---6--|--2--|
C#|--2--|--4--|--6--|--4--|--6---6--|--2--|
G#|--2--|--4--|--6--|--2--|--4---4--|--0--|
D#|--0--|--2--|--4--|-----|---------|-----|


Ok so here goes the song:


E  F#m  Abm  B  x2

E            F#m           Abm        B
I think you took my heart away ----- when you said you're leaving
E               F#m          Abm      B
Cause' right now I am hurting ------- all over again
   E              F#m           Abm             B
And I never thought that I'd be in these places on this day
E       F#m           Abm                B (strum once)
And now I don't know how much more that I can take



F#m                               Abm
         I'm breaking at the cracks
F#m                               Abm        
         And everything goes black
F#m                               Abm         
         It's another heart attack
F#m                               Abm
         And I can't handle that

F#m (strum once)
Woah  Love I need you back


E     F#m   x1


E           F#m                 Abm               B
I know that I'll get through this The feeling is stronger somehow
E         F#m                   Abm         B
I got my feet back on the ground And I'm turning around
E           F#m            Abm              B
And I'll be everything you always said that I could be
E        F#m               Abm               B
If only you'll be waiting right here for me patiently




F#m                               Abm
         I'm breaking at the cracks
F#m                               Abm        
         And everything goes black
F#m                               Abm         
         It's another heart attack
F#m                               Abm
         And I can't handle that

F#m
Woah  Love I need you back

(Interlude)

C#m  B      Asus2  x1

C#m                 B
Oh whenever would I take you back,
Asus2
My heart was filled with love
     C#m                   B
And I wipe these tears and I will laugh
Asus2                        
If only I could make it last

C#m  B     Asus2       x2
(laaaaaaaaaaaaaaast.../make it last...)


(Last chorus - strum only once every chord)

F#m                               Abm
         I'm breaking at the cracks
F#m                               Abm        
         And everything goes black
F#m                               Abm         
         It's another heart attack
F#m                               Abm
         And I can't handle that

F#m
Woah  Love I need you back


E    F#m   x9    

(E & F#m until the end of song)  
I need you back

I need you back

I need you back... 

Love I need you back...
