I Cant Break It To My Heart

Delta Goodrem

Text File

This is Delta Goodrem's 4th single from 'Delta'.  The setting for guitar is half-step 
but I'll still write the chords as if it was in standard tuning due to the fact a piano is 
to tune down or up.  But regardless of the setup, it should sound the same.

Intro (Piano chords):Bbm, Db/Ab, Db/F#, Ab(ring)

            Bbm
If it's o-o-kay
     F#                  Db/Ab
I'll leave the bed light on
    F#               Db/F                  Ab/Eb(ring)
And place your water glass where i-it belo-ngs
                 Bbm
And if it's a-al-right
     F#           Db/Ab
I'll lie awake at night
    F#           Db/F              Ab/Eb(ring)
Pre-tending I am curled up at your side

[Guitar, strings and light percussion joins in, ring all chords]
        Bbm                  F#
See I'm circling in these pa-a-tterns
       Db            Ab
Living out of memori-i-ies
            Bbm                     F#
I'm still a long way from accepting it
             Absus4              Ab
That there's just no you-u and me

[More percussion and strings joins in]
         F#                   Db
But if I still-ll believe you lo-ove me
Bbm              Ab
Maybe I'll survi-ive
     F#                       Db
So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home
            Bbm               Ab
Like you've done a million ti-imes
                 F#
And if it's a-al-right
     Db                 Ab
I'll still-ll be loving you
[[Piano appegio from Bbm, guitar rings the same chords]
                              Bbm         F# Ab
'cause I can't break it to my-y  hea-a-art

[Drums and lead guitar appegio joins in]
             Bbm
Is it ju-ust me
    Ab             Db
Did I commit a cri-ime
  F#                 Db         Ab        F#         Bbm
I won't believe that loving you-u is just a waste of time
   F#              Db
Or was it in my he-e-ead
    F#           Db                      Ab
I'm reading into things that you neve-er said

[[Guitar chord and piano appegio, ring all chords]
         Bbm                    F#
'cause I still don't have the a-answers
          Db                   Ab
To why we couldn't wo-ork it o-out
        Bbm                         F#
I wanna think it's something that I did
         Absus4         Ab
So I can turn it back a-round

[Backup joins in on 'stil-ll']
          F#                  Db

Bbm              Ab
Maybe I'll survi-ive
     F#                       Db
So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home
            Bbm               Ab
Like you've done a million ti-imes
                 F#
And if it's a-al-right
     Db                 Ab
I'll still-ll be loving you
