Intro: G  D  A  Bm

Verse 1:
G
At least I can say I tried
D                           A
At least I can say I wanted this
          Bm
More than you did
G
'Cause I call you every day
D                                    A
And it goes right to voicemail and I know
           Bm
That it's stupid
             G
That I still want you back
     D
Even though you left
          A
Without saying goodbye
         Bm
You just cut off the ties
             G
Yeah I still want you close
                D
Still want your hand to hold
        A                            Bm
Was I a fool to think that we'd grow old

Chorus:
        G                                D
Oh this house of glass was never made to last
        A                                     Bm
Got the window stained with memories from our past
          G                            D
And as we drift apart it all begins to crack
           A                                  Bm
It took so long to build but all fell down so fast

Verse 2:
G
With shards of glass all around
D                         A
I wanna pick them off the ground
                    Bm
And put them back together
G                      D
But to pick the pieces up
                     A
Is to suffer all the cuts
               Bm
To make things better
               G
'Cause I still see your ghost
          D
When I am all alone
      A
Oh my mind's a mess
              Bm
It's like you never left
                 G
'Cause your love follows me
               D
This feeling's haunting me
              A
It's all I've ever known
            Bm
Why can't I let you go

Chorus:
        G                                D
Oh this house of glass was never made to last
        A                                     Bm
Got the window stained with memories from our past
          G                            D
And as we drift apart it all begins to crack
           A                                  Bm
It took so long to build but all fell down so fast

Instrumental (x2): G  D  Bm  A

Chorus:
        G                                D
Oh this house of glass was never made to last
        A                                     Bm
Got the window stained with memories from our past
          G                            D
And as we drift apart it all begins to crack
           A                                  Bm
It took so long to build but all fell down so fast
