[Opening]
[E]The way you say the [A]things you do, [E]the softness of the [A]words you choose
[C#m]The times that you can [A]read my mind, and take my [F#m]worries out of [B]sight
[E]Your fingers touching [A]on my lips, [E]and say a kiss is [A]still a kiss
[C#m]And when you look at me [A]I see, I see the [F#m]pain that you had to [B]feel

[chorus]
You must’ve had a broken [A]heart, to [B]love me the [E]way you do
Must have [C#m]been so torn [A]apart, I can [B]see it when I [E]look at you
All the [B]meaning that is [C#m]in your eyes, the [B]love you give will [A]never die
And I [F#m]knew right from the start, you [B]must have had a broken heart

[Closing]
[E]You seem to have [A]that certain smile, [E]I can’t forget [A]after a while
[C#m]The day you walked into the [A]room, at once I [F#m]knew the hurt that you’d been [B]through
[A]Sometimes when its [B]late at night, and I [C#m]see your face i [E]see in the [A]fire light
Showing all the [F#m]love you have for me, well I [B]love you as much

[chorus]
Lên nửa tone lên [F]
You [F]must have had a broken [Bb]heart, to [C]love me the [F]way you do
Must have [Dm]been so torn [Bb]apart, I can [C]see it when I [F]look at you
All the [C]meaning that is [Dm]in your eyes, the [C]love you give [F]will never [Bb]die
And I [Gm]knew right from the start, you [C]must have had a broken heart [F]sometimes
