Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri




Verse 1
Bm                            D
I know I can't take one more step towards you
A                              Em
'Cause all thats waiting is regret
Bm                               D
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
A                              G
You lost the love I loved the most
Em                 D      A
I learned to live half a life
Em           D             Asus  A
And now you want me one more time


Chorus
D                     A
Who do you think you are?
                        Bm
Running 'round leaving scars
                      G
Collecting a jar of hearts
 Gm            D
Tearing love apart
D                     A
You're gonna catch a cold
                          Bm
From the ice inside your soul
                     G
Don't come back for me
Gm                    D
Who do you think you are?


Verse 2
Bm                         D
I hear you're asking all around
A                        Em
If I am anywhere to be found
Bm                     D
But I have grown too strong
A                          G
To ever fall back in your arms
Em                    D      A
I've learned to live half a life
Em           D            Asus  A
And now you want me one more time


Chorus
D                     A
Who do you think you are?
                         Bm
Running 'round leaving scars
                      G
Collecting a jar of hearts
     Gm            D
And tearing love apart
D                     A
You're gonna catch a cold
                          Bm
From the ice inside your soul
                    G
Don't come back for me
Gm                    D
Who do you think you are?


Bridge
Bm          F#           D       E
It took so long just to feel alright
  Bm            F#             D          E
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
   Bm          F#              D             E
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
        Bm        F#       D     E
'Cause you broke all your promises
     G
And now you're back
                 F#
You don't get to get me back


Chorus
D                     A
Who do you think you are?
                        Bm
Running 'round leaving scars
                      G
Collecting a jar of hearts
     Gm            D
And tearing love apart
D                      A
You're gonna catch a cold
                          Bm
From the ice inside your soul
                        G
So don't come back for me
Gm                  D
Don't come back at all
x2


Gm                     D
Who do you think you are?
Gm                     D
Who do you think you are?
Gm                     D
Who do you think you are?


So, I decided to cover this song since it's our sem break. I chose this song because it brings out so much emotion from the singer. The tune itself is emotional and with the lyrics then it turned out to be a good combination of the tune and lyrics.


This is a song of a person that loves somebody but tries not to go further than that. A person that have waited for so long for the right moment but ended up giving up. She will now stop getting the man of her dreams. She has given most of her time for the guy but now all the efforts are gone. 
Who do you think you are.. the most repetitive line in the song. Now, that's her mindset. She stopped waiting anymore because she thinks that's the guy's a nobody now. Who does he think he is? He's not worth the wait anymore for her. 

I can feel her!! I think I'm feeling the same emotions. So sad.
