Verse 1
Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through
Chorus
*If you know how to pluck these chords, it will sound better…
C G
Things get damaged
Em
Things get broken
Em G
I thought we'd manage
C
But words left unspoken
G
Left us so brittle
Am
There was so little left to give
