Capo 4th fret
[Intro]
D Em G D
[Verse 1]
D
If you want a real thing
Em
Quit playing with heart strings
G
Back and forth like a porch swing
D
Gotta slow it down
D
'Cause you leave before you get hurt
Em
Only ever put yourself first
G
I think it's time for you to get burned
D
Turn yourself around
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Oh-oh-oh
A
Before you end up on your own
Em
Oh-oh-oh
A
You need to go and get yourself grown
[Chorus]
G
You need to know what it feels like to wake up
A
And her side of the bed is cold
G
And the hurt that you feel when you realize
A
Her name's not in your phone
Em
'Cause once you lose a real good thing
A
Next one you'll never wanna let go
Em G
So before you go and give away your heart, boy
D
You need to get it broke
A
You need to get it broke
Em G
You need to get it broke
[Verse 2]
D
Then you'll understand the damage
Em
Of taking her for granted
G
And don't want something different
D
And never wanna run
D
'Cause on the other side of leaving
Em
You know the time it takes for healing
G
Won't wanna put her through that feling
D
'Cause you felt the punch
[Chorus]
G
You need to know what it feels like to wake up
A
And her side of the bed is cold
G
And the hurt that you feel when you realize
A
Her name's not in your phone
Em
'Cause once you lose a real good thing
A
Next one you'll never wanna let go
Em G
So before you go and give away your heart, boy
D
You need to get it broke
A
You need to get it broke
Em G
You need to get it broke
[Bridge]
Em
So yeah it might not feel the best
A
But it's for your own benefit
Em
Believe it
[Out-Chorus]
A G
You need to know what it feels like to wake up
A
And her side of the bed is cold
G
And the hurt that you feel when you realize
A
Her name's not in your phone
Em
'Cause once you lose a real good thing
A
Next one you'll never wanna let go
Em G
So before you go and give away your heart, boy
D
You need to get it broke
A
You need to get it broke
Em G D
You need to get it broke
