Dm
       C     Bb        C  F
The redness of his face permits
      C       Bb               C F
The truth his words won't dare admit
      C     Bb          C   F             Bb
His sunken eyes are hid behind a darkened lens

Bb

[Chorus]

Dm      Bb                        F
Broken doors and thoughtless words
                   C
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn
Dm      Bb                        F
Feeble threats and loveless debts
               C                          Bb
Prove nothing when she steals your breath

[Verse 2]

Bb                                  C
She stands tall with strength; not height
         Dm               C        Bb
You can see the fists inside her eyes
Bb                      C
Now it's time for her revenge
Dm
Delivered acid tongue
     C
God pity/help him

Bb                    C     Dm
She sits there in the aftermath
C          Bm               C       Dm
    As the cars are driving slowly past

C   Bm

[Chorus]

Dm      Bb                        F
Broken doors and thoughtless words
                   C
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn
Dm      Bb                        F
Feeble threats and loveless debts
               C                          Bb
Prove nothing when she steals your breath

[Bridge]

Bb                     C
She sits there in the aftermath
     Dm                     F
And listens as cars drive slowly past
Bb             C
  His final show, his lies
            Dm
Have done nothing but cure her smile

   C         Bb
Her bruises fade from black to blue
Dm              Bb      F
Over time, they slowly heal
Bb
(You think you've grown, found love again)
                         C                    Dm                  C
                         When you break your own heart, it will never mend

[Chorus]

Dm      Bb                        F
Broken doors and thoughtless words
                   C
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn
Dm      Bb                        F
Feeble threats and loveless debts
               C                         
Prove nothing when she steals your breath

Dm      Bb                        F
Broken doors and thoughtless words

Dm      Bb                        F
Feeble threats and loveless debts

[Outro]

Dm      Bb                        F
Broken doors and thoughtless words
                   C
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn
Dm      Bb                        F
Feeble threats and loveless debts
               C                          Dm
Prove nothing when she steals your breath
