I Can't Break It To My Heart

• Bbm

This is Delta Goodrem's 4th single from 'Delta'.  The setting for guitar is half-step 
but I'll still write the chords as if it was in standard tuning due to the fact a piano is 
to tune down or up.  But regardless of the setup, it should sound the same.

Intro (Piano chords):Bbm, Db/Ab, Db/F#, Ab(ring)

            Bbm
If it's o-o-kay
     F#                  Db/Ab
I'll leave the bed light on
    F#               Db/F                  Ab/Eb(ring)
And place your water glass where i-it belo-ngs
                 Bbm
And if it's a-al-right
     F#           Db/Ab
I'll lie awake at night
    F#           Db/F              Ab/Eb(ring)
Pre-tending I am curled up at your side

Guitar, strings and light percussion joins in, ring all chords
        Bbm                  F#
See I'm circling in these pa-a-tterns
       Db            Ab
Living out of memori-i-ies
            Bbm                     F#
I'm still a long way from accepting it
             Absus4              Ab
That there's just no you-u and me

More percussion and strings joins in
         F#                   Db
But if I still-ll believe you lo-ove me
Bbm              Ab
Maybe I'll survi-ive
     F#                       Db
So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home
            Bbm               Ab
Like you've done a million ti-imes
                 F#
And if it's a-al-right
     Db                 Ab
I'll still-ll be loving you
Piano appegio from Bbm, guitar rings the same chords

Did I commit a cri-ime
  F#                 Db         Ab        F#         Bbm
I won't believe that loving you-u is just a waste of time
   F#              Db
Or was it in my he-e-ead
    F#           Db                      Ab
I'm reading into things that you neve-er said

To why we couldn't wo-ork it o-out
