[Ab] [Bb]
[Eb] was a ruby that she wore [Cm] On a chain around her neck
[Ab] In the shape of a heart [Bb]
[Ab] In the shape of a [Bb] heart

[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] I [Bb] guess I [Ab] never knew What [Bb] she was talking about
[Ab] I [Bb] guess I [Ab] never knew What [Bb] she was living [Eb] without
People speak of love Don't know what they're thinking [Cm] of
Wait around for the one If [Eb] it's just like the [Ab] glove
Speak in terms of [Bb] belief and below [Ab] And try to fit [Bb] some word to [Eb] the longing
People
[Cm]
[Eb] [Ab] speak of [Bb] love [Ab] [Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] Was a hole left in the wall
From [Cm] some ancient fight About
[Ebm] [Ab] the size of a fist
[Bb]
[Ebm] Or something [Ab] thrown that it [Bb] missed
[Eb] There were other holes as well
[Cm] In that house where our nights fell
[Ebm] [Ab] Far too many to [Bb] revere
[Ab] In the time that we [Bb] were
[Eb] there
People speak of love Don't know what they're thinking [Cm] of
Reach out to each other [Eb] Through the push and [Ab] shove
Speak in terms [Bb] of a life and the [Ab] learning Try to think [Bb] of a word for the [Eb] burning
Keep
[Cm] [Eb]
[Ab] it up [Bb] You try so hard
[Ab] To keep a life from [Bb] falling apart [Ab] And never [Bb] know
What riches [Ab] and faults are concealed [Bb] In the shape of a [Ab]

[Eb] Was the ruby that she wore [Cm] On the stand beside the bed
[Eb] In [Ab] the hour before dawn [Bb]
[Ebm] [Ab] When I knew she was [Bb] gone
And [Eb] I held it in my hand [Cm] For a little while
[Ebm] And [Ab] dropped it into the [Bb] water [Ab] And let it go and heard it [Bb] fall
[Ab] Oh

without
[Eb] People speak of love, don't know what they're thinking [Cm] of
Waiting around [D] for the one who [Eb] fits just like a [Ab] glove
Speak in terms [Bb] of a life and the living
[Ab] Try to find [Bb] the word for [Eb] forgiving
You
[Cm]
[Eb] [Ab] keep it up, [Bb] you try so [Ab] hard
To keep a life [Bb] from falling apart
[Ab] And never [Bb] know if the [Ab] shallows and the unseen reach
[Bb] Better there than the [Ab] sky
In [Bb] [Ab] the shape of a heart
