Hearts breaking even (J.B.Jovi & D.Child)

from the Bon Jovi album 'These Days'


Intro D | A | bm | G | D | bm | G | A

Verse1
Bb                           dm           Eb                     F                 (Bb)
It's been a cold, cold, cold, cold night tonight and I can't get you off of my mind
Bb  dm                          Eb        F         (Bb)
             God knows I've tried
Bb                           dm
Did I throw away the best part of my life
Eb                 F            gm                 F
When I cut you off, did I cut myself with the same damn knife
Eb                     F                   Eb                 F
Hide my tears in the pouring rain, had my shore of hurt and pain
D(A)                  gm   Eb                          F
Don't say my name, run away, `cause it's all in vain.

Chorus
     D                   A                      bm           G
My hearts breaking even, now there's no use we even try
D                   bm                      G          A
Hey I cried, yeah I lied, hell I almost died
D                   A                      bm           G
Don't got a reason, let's just fold the cards and say goodbye
D                   bm                              G                 A
It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight

Link D | bm | G | A

Verse2
It's been a long, long, long, long time since I've had your love here in my hands
We didn't understand it, we couldn't understand it
But nothing's fair in love and hate,
You lay it all down and walk away before it's too late.
We danced all night as the music played, the streets got tangled in the mess we made
There in stains, we remain, no one left to blame

Chorus

Solo D | bm | G | A (3x)

Bridge
Bb                                     F
Go on, get on with your life, yeah I'll get on with mine
G                                          Eb
Broken hearts can't call the cops, yeah it's a perfect crime
Bb                                                                    F
Twisting and turning the night keeps me yearning,I'm burning alive,
G                                       A
I'm paying the price again, but I'll see the light again

Chorus

Outro D | A | bm | G (repeat `til fade)
