Verse
[C]
You were the sweetest thing
[G] [C] [G] [D]
That I ever knew
[C]
But I don't care for sugar honey
[G] [C] [G] [D]
If I can't have you
Pre-Chorus
[Em] [G]
Since you've abandoned me
[C] [G] ([G/F#])*
My whole life has crashed
[Em] [Bm]
Won't you pick the pieces up?
[C] [D] [G]
'Cause it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass

Bridge
[Em]
The sun's still shining in the big blue sky
[G] [C] [G] [D]
But it don't mean nothing to me
[Em]
Oh, let the rain come down
[G] [C] [G] [D]
Let the wind blow through me
Pre-Chorus
[Em] [G]
I'm living in an empty room
[C] [G] ([G/F#])*
With all the windows smashed
[Em] [G]
And I've got so little left to lose
[D] [G]
That it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass
Chorus
[G] [C] [G] [D] [G] [C] [G] [D]
Walking on, walking on broken glass
Bridge
[Am] [F]
And if you're trying to cut me down
[C]
You know that I might bleed
[Am] [F]
'Cause if you're trying to cut me down
[C]
I know that you'll succeed
[Am] [F]
And if you want to hurt me
[C]
There's nothing left to fear
[Am] [F]
'Cause if you want to hurt me
[D] [G] [C] [G] [D] [G] [C] [G] [D]
You're doing really well, my dear
[C]
Now everyone of us is made to suffer
[G] [C] [G] [D]
Everyone of us is made to weep
[C]
But we've been hurting one another
[G] [C] [G] [D]
And now the pain has cut too deep
Pre-Chorus
[Em] [G]
So take me from the wreckage
[C] [G] ([G/F#])*
Save me from the blast
[Em] [G]
Lift me up and take me back
[C]
Don't let me keep on walking
[D]
(Don't let me keep on walking)
[G]
I can't keep on walking on (keep on walking) keep on walking on broken glass
