Colbie Caillat - Breakin At The Cracks

ok so i wanted to play this song exactly like colbie and couldn’t find any decent
chord tabs for that , so i decided to tab this one myself . . . which took a lot of
time ( to get the chords all by ear ) but , worth every second = )

ps : on the last chorus colbie finger picks the strings instead of strumming but i
haven’t figured out the pattern yet
____________________________________________________________________________

first of all tuning for this song is half step down ( D# , G# , C# , F# , A# , D# )

chords used are : E F#m G#m B C#m Asus2

but they’re not the simple chords , as colbie uses some open forms of F#m , G#m , C#m
and B . so i’ll show you how to play every chord myself ( C#m can be played both ways ) :

E F#m G#m B C#m Asus2
D# | – – 0 – – | – – 0 – – | – – 0 – – | – – 0 – – | – – 0 – – – 0 – – | – – 0 – – |
A# | – – 0 – – | – – 0 – – | – – 0 – – | – – 0 – – | – – 0 – – – 5 – – | – – 0 – – |
F# | – – 1 – – | – – 2 – – | – – 4 – – | – – 4 – – | – – 6 – – – 6 – – | – – 2 – – |
C# | – – 2 – – | – – 4 – – | – – 6 – – | – – 4 – – | – – 6 – – – 6 – – | – – 2 – – |
G# | – – 2 – – | – – 4 – – | – – 6 – – | – – 2 – – | – – 4 – – – 4 – – | – – 0 – – |
D# | – – 0 – – | – – 2 – – | – – 4 – – | – – – – – | – – – – – – – – – | – – – – – |

ok so here goes the song :

E F#m G#m B x2

E F#m G#m B
i think you took my heart away – – – – – when you said you’re leaving
E F#m G#m B
cause’ right now i Am hurting – – – – – – – all over again
E F#m G#m B
and i never thought that i’d be in these places on this day
E F#m G#m B ( strum once )
and now i don’t know how much more that i can take

F#m G#m
i’m breaking at the cracks
F#m G#m
and everything goes black
F#m G#m
it’s another heart attack
F#m G#m
and i can’t handle that

F#m ( strum once )
woah love i need you back

E F#m x1

E F#m G#m B
i know that i’ll get through this the feeling is stronger somehow
E F#m G#m B
i got my feet back on the ground and i’m turning around
E F#m G#m B
and i’ll be everything you always said that i could be
E F#m G#m B
if only you’ll be waiting right here for me patiently

F#m G#m
i’m breaking at the cracks
F#m G#m
and everything goes black
F#m G#m
it’s another heart attack
F#m G#m
and i can’t handle that

F#m
woah love i need you back

( interlude )

C#m B Asus2 x1

C#m B
oh whenever would i take you back ,
Asus2
my heart was filled with love
C#m B
and i wipe these tears and i will laugh
Asus2
if only i could make it last

C#m B Asus2 x2
( laaaaaaaaaaaaaaast . . . /make it last . . . )

( last chorus – strum only once every chord )

F#m G#m
i’m breaking at the cracks
F#m G#m
and everything goes black
F#m G#m
it’s another heart attack
F#m G#m
and i can’t handle that

F#m
woah love i need you back

E F#m x9

( E & F#m until the end of song )
i need you back

i need you back

i need you back . . .

love i need you back . . .
