When We Fall Apart Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
You were [D]forty-three when you got the news
Life will be changing, nothing we can do
The clock is [G]ticking now
All I can think about
Is knowing [D]I have to move on
without you somehow
And [A]I just can't believe
That [G]you're the one
who's keeping it to[D]gether
As you hold my hand and say

[Chorus 1]
It's [G]ok to cry
It's ok to fall apart
You don't [D]have to try
To be strong when you are not
And it may [G]take sometime
to make sense of all your thoughts
But don't [D]ever fight your tears
'Cause there is freedom in every drop
Sometimes the [A]only way
to heal a broken [G]heart is when we fall a[D]part

[Verse 2]
You ask [D]me to sing
Some songs that I wrote
But I can barely speak
Can barely play a note
All my [G]tears rush in
Falling on my strings
That make the [D]sound of these progressions
have a different ring
And I [A]hate to say goodbye
Knowing [G]this will be
the last time we're to[D]gether
As you close your eyes and say

[Chorus 2]
It's [G]ok to cry
It's ok to fall apart
You don't [D]have to try
To be strong when you are not
And it may [G]take sometime
to make sense of all your thoughts
But don't [D]ever fight your tears
'Cause there is freedom in every drop
Sometimes the [A]only way
to heal a broken [G]heart is when we fall a[D]part

[Bridge 1]
And you've [G]got the gift of mercy
Don't ever think it's strange
Not a [D]curse, but it is a blessing
to feel other people's pain
And always [G]love without condition
And trust the Lord with all your heart
There's [Em]healing in the story of your [A]scars

[Verse 3]
Well, it's [D]been awhile
Since [G]you've been [D]gone
And sometimes I still catch myself
trying to [G]call your [D]phone
All the [G]hopes and dreams
we used to talk about
They're still a[D]live in me
and I just [G]hope I [D]make you proud
Now [A]I'm your legacy
And [G]it's your love
still holding me to[D]gether[G]
And [D]I still hear you say

[Chorus 3]
It's [G]ok to cry
It's ok to fall apart
You don't [D]have to try
To be strong when you are not
And it may [G]take sometime
to make sense of all your thoughts
But don't [D]ever fight your tears
'Cause there is freedom in every drop
Sometimes the [A]only way
to heal a broken [G]heart is when we fall a[D]part
Yeah, yeah, it's okay to fall apart
Sometimes the [A]only way
to heal a broken [G]heart is when we fall a[D]part
