Chorus 1
Am 
Tell them all I know now
C 
Shout it from the roof tops
G 
Write it on the sky line
Fmaj7 
All we had is gone     now
Am 
Tell them I was happy

And my heart is broken
G 
All my scars are open

Tell them what I hoped

would be impossible

Impossible
G 
Impossible

Impossible

Verse 2
Am 
Falling out of love is hard
C 
Falling for betrayal is worse
G

Broken trust and broken hearts I  know, I know

And thinking all you need is there

Building faith on love and words
G 
Empty promises will wear
F 
I  know
Dm7 
I know and now
Em7 
When all is done, there is nothing to say
Fmaj7 
And if you're done with embarrassing me
G 
On your own you can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now

And my heart is broken

All my scars are open
