Tonality
A Em G D E7 Bm



Intro: A Em G D x2
 
Verse:
A                 Em
  Maybe if I catch my breath
G                   D
  Maybe if I wait a little
A                     Em                  G                 D
 Iʼd remember how it hurts and stop before I fall
A                 Em
 Iʼd forget to come apart
      G                     D
Iʼd catch myself and hold on tightly
A                    Em                G                         D
  Let memory wash over me, forgive but donʼt forget
 
Pre-chorus:
                     A
So donʼt come back to me begging
 Em                                 G                                  D
"Whyʼd you leave? Tell me why, how you could you let this go?"
 
Chorus:
E7           Bm
Let it be all it is
A                      G                     A
Small and still, a memory like a stone
             Em                              Bm
A jagged edge made smooth by time
A           E7
Let it be all it is
Bm                                       A
Small and still and better left alone
                        E7               Bm A
Some things are better broken
                          E7               Bm
Some things are better broken
 
Verse:
A                            Em
 Illusions come, the venom stings
  G                       D
Swirling visions, soft and perfect
A                         Em           G             D
 They blur all the edges ʼtil everythingʼs fine
A                        Em
 So Iʼll pretend I didnʼt cry
      G                       D
And you pretend that youʼre my savior
      A                       Em                  G                           D
We both remember what we want to get us through the night
 
Pre-chorus:
                     A
So donʼt come back to me begging
 Em                                 G                           D
"Whyʼd you leave? Tell me why, how could you let this go?"
 
Chorus:
A            E7
Let it be all it is
Bm                   D                    A
Small and still, a memory like a stone
             E7                               Bm   D
A jagged edge made smooth by time
A           E7
Let it be all it is
Bm                      D               A
Small and still and better left alone
                        E7                  Bm A
Some things are better broken
                        E7                 Bm
Some things are better broken

A            E7
Let it be all it is
Bm                   D                     A
Small and still, a memory like a stone
               E7                             Bm
A jagged edge made smooth by time
A            E7
Let it be all it is
Bm                      D               A
Small and still and better left alone
                        E7                  Bm A
Some things are better broken
                        E7                 Bm A
Some things are better broken
 
Outro:
                        E7                 Bm A
Some things are better broken
                        E7                 Bm A  E7  Bm
Some things are better broken
