{intro}
G Bm C Am7/D G Bm C Am7/D
An empty house, a broken fairy tale
G Bm C Am7/D C/D
A hollow girl with empty arms
A7(4) Em Am B7
From an angel's tears, God made the stars
A9/C# C Am/D G Bm C Am7/D
Why can't he make me an unbreakable heart
G Bm C Am7/D
{instrumental}
G Bm C Am7/D G Bm C Am7/D
In my blue world, you shone like heaven's fire
G Bm C Am7/D C/D
And left me crying in the dark
A7(4) Em Am B7
How could any - one be so hard
A9/C# C Am/D G C/G G
Did you think I had an unbreakable heart
Dº/G# Am7 F#m7(b5) Em- D C G/B Am G
I suppose I should know sometimes love just comes and goes
Dº/G# Am7 F#m7(b5) Em- D A7 C C/D
But I believed, foolish me, we'd go on and on
G Bm C Am7/D G Bm C Am7/D
One day, someone will come to you
G Bm C Am7/D C/D
And rock you tight - ly in her arms
A7(4) Em Am B7
Please remember this when you drop your guard
A9/C# C Am/D G Bm C Am7/D
Nobody has an unbreakable heart
A7(4) Em Am B7
From an angel's wings to a falling star
A9/C# C Am/D G Bm C Am7/D
God makes everything but unbreakable hearts

1) The C * and Em * chords probably aren't really played by the guitar
I just put them in because they echo the melody of the song.
B7isjust F#ºn
the high E string, the second does. (I.e., play x2120x, then x21202.)
3) In the bridge, where it goes Em - D, don't play the highest strings on
