_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _
_ [B] _ [E] Was the ruby that she wore [C#m] on a [C#] chain around her neck
[A] In the shape of a [B] heart, [A] in the shape of a [B] heart
[E] Was a time I won't forget [C#m] for the sorrow and regret
[A] And the shape of a [B] heart, [A] and the shape of a [B] heart
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ [A] _ [B] I guess I [A] never knew [B] what she was talking [A] about
I [B] guess I [A] never knew [B] what she was living [E] without
People speak of love, don't know what that's [C#m] about
Wait around for the one who's just [A] like a flower
Speak in [B] terms of belief and [A] belonging
Try to [B] fit some name in the [E] belonging
_ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _
[B] There [E] was a hole left in the wall [C#m] from some ancient fight
[A] About the size of a [B] fist, [A] from a sacred throne that had [B] missed
And [E] there were other holes as well, [C#m] in the house where our knights fell
[A] Far too many [B] to repair [A] in the time [B] that we were [E] there
People speak of love, don't know what [C#m] that's about
Reach out to each other through the [A] push and shove
Speak in [B] terms of a life and a [A] learning
Try to [B] think of a word for the [E] burning
You _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ [A] keep it [B] up, you try [A] so hard
You keep the [B] light from coming [A] apart
You never [B] know what [A] reaches and falls
[B] Unconcealed in the shape of a [A] [C#m] heart
[B] [E] In the [A] shape of a heart, [B] in _ [A] _ [C#m] _ [B] _ [E] [A] the shape of a heart
[B] _ [G#m] _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _
_ [B] _ [E] Was the ruby that she wore
[C#m] On a stand beside the bed
[A] In the hour before [B] dawn
[A] When I knew she was [B] gone
[E] And I held it in my [C#m] hand for a little while
Dropped [A] it into the [B] wall
[A] And let it go and let it [B] fall
_ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ [B] I guess [A] I never knew [B] what she was talking [A] about
[B] I guess [A] I never knew [B] what she was living [E] without
People speak of love, don't know what they're [C#m] thinking of
Wait around for the one who's just [A] lack of love
Speak [B] in terms of a life and a [A] living
And try [B] to find the words for [E] forgiving
_ You [C#m] _
_ _ _ [A] keep [B] it up, you try [A] so hard
You keep the [B] light from coming [A] apart
You never [B] know the [A] shadow of the unseen [B] reach
To lift [A] the [C#m] scar
[B] In [E] [A] the shape of a heart, [B] _ _ [A] _ [C#m] _ [B] _ [E] [A] in the shape of a heart
[B] _ [A] _ _ _ [B] [E] In [A] the shape of a heart, [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] in [A] the shape of a heart
[B] In _ [A] _ _ [B] _ [E] [A] the shape of a heart
