E   A   E   A   C#m  A   B

         E    A               E
An empty house is the only thing standing
           B            A         E
Between our lives and the speed of sound
     C#m   B    E  A           E
Some words flew out and made a crash landing
     B                   A             E
No love survived - not a trace could be found

       C#m                      E    E/G# A     Am
And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
                E        A       B      E        A   C#m A  B

I walked away and you stood there trembling
Like a leaf in the autumn chill
Now this house won't say, no, what I'm still remembering
Three angry words and a love that they killed

And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
                                            E     E7

F#m                B               E        E7
  And you couldn't say how much it hurt you
F#m              B                 E        E7
  And I couldn't see the damage I'd done
A                B            Ab        C#m
  Till I watched the greatest love I've known
F#                               B
  All come down to a slip of the tongue

Well I'd take it back but time won't let me
Oh time just takes you further away
I watched you pack a house full of memories
Where did you go? Lord, what did I say?

And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
                                            E     A
                E        A       B      E         A
                   E     B              E
