[E] [C#m] [C#]
[A] [B] [A] [B]
[E] It was a ruby that she wore [C#m] on a 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#] for the [C#m] sorrow and regret
[A] In the shape of a [B] heart, [A] in the shape of a [B] heart
[E] [C#m]
[A] I [B] guess I [A] never knew [B] what she was talking about
[A] I [B] guess I [A] never knew [B] she was living [E] without
People speak of love, don't know what love is
[C#m] Wait around for the one who's just like [A] a drug
Speak in [B] terms of belief and [A] belonging
Try to fit [B] some name into their [E] longing
[C#m] People
[A] speak [B] of [A] love
[B] There [E] was a hole left in the wall [C#m] from some ancient pipe
[A] About the size of a [B] fist, [A] something thrown at me
[B]
[E] Never ever hold as well [C#m] in the house where our nights fell
[A] Far too many [B] to repair [A] in the time that [B] we were [E] there
People speak of love, don't know what love is
[C#m] Reach out to each other through the push [A] and shove
Speak in [B] terms of life and learning
[A] Try to [B] think of a word for the [E] learning
[C#m] Keep
[A] it at [B] it, try so [A] hard
To keep the light [B] from coming apart
[A] Never [B] know what reaches [A] and falls
Are concealed [B] in the shape of a [A] heart
[C#] [B] In the [A] shape of a heart, [B] [C#]
[A] [C#m] [B] [E] in the [A] shape of a heart
[B] [E]
It [C#m] was [A] [B] [A] [B]
[E] the ruby that she wore
[C#m] On a stand beside [C#] the bed
[A] In the hour before [B] dawn
[A] When I knew she was [B] gone
And [E] I held it in my hand [C#m] for a little while
[A] Dropped it into the water
[B] [A] Let it go and heard it [B] fall
[A] [B] [A] [B]
[A] [B] [A] [B]
[A] [B] I
I guess I [A] never knew
That [B] she was talking about
[A] I [B] guess I [A] never knew
[B] She was living a lie
[E] People speak of love, don't know what this means
Wait around [C#] for the ones just lack of [A] love
Speak in terms [B] of life and living
[A] Try to find [B] a word [E] for the living
Keep [C#m]
[A] it at [B] it, try so [A] hard
To keep the light [B] from coming apart
[A] Never [B] know the shadows [A] and the unseen reeds
[B] Little little [A] star
[C#m] In [B] the shape [A] of a heart, [B] [A]
[C#m] [B] in the shape [A] of a heart
