[Verse 1]

Em                   G    D/F#
  I don't wanna feel better
Am                   G   D/F#
  I don't wanna feel good
Em                G      D/F#
  I wanna feel it hurt like
Am               Em   D
Losing someone should

Em                 G       D/F#
  I'm gonna let my heart break
Am                 G  D/F#
  I'm gonna let it burn
Em                   G      D/F#
  I'm gonna stake my claim with
Am                       Em   D
The flame I know we've earned


[Pre-Chorus]

G
Run, baby, run, don't you know I've tried
    F                                          Em
But escape is a waste, ain't no use in hiding you
                          Dsus   D
Know the best way over's through


[Chorus]

         C               G
So if it matters, let it matter
                 D/F#              Em
If your heart's breaking, let it ache
            C              G
Catch those pieces as they scatter
          D/F#             Em
Know your hurt is not in vain
      C                        G
Don't hide yourself from the horror
D/F#                Em
Hurt today, here tomorrow
        C              G/B
If it's fragile and it shatters
G       D/F#            Em
Let it matter, let it matter

[Verse 2]

N.C.
They say you know it ain't easy
                      G  D/F#
I wouldn't want it to be
Em                       G    D/F#
  'Cause ease is for the shallow
    Am               Em  D
But we were from the deep
Em                G     D/F#
  I don't know distractions
            Am                 G  D/F#
Don't try to please me for one day
Em                 G         D/F#
  You were worth enjoying my love
Am
You were worth this pain


[Pre-Chorus]

G
Run, baby, run, don't you know I've tried
    F                                          Em
But escape is a waste, ain't no use in hiding you
                          Dsus   D
Know the best way over's through


[Chorus]

         C               G
So if it matters, let it matter
                 D/F#              Em
If your heart's breaking, let it ache
            C              G
Catch those pieces as they scatter
          D/F#             Em
Know your hurt is not in vain
      C                        G
Don't hide yourself from the horror
D/F#                Em
Hurt today, here tomorrow
        C              G/B
If it's fragile and it shatters
G       D/F#            Em
Let it matter, let it matter
