Chords for The Frames - What Happens When The Heart Just Stops (Live Set List)

This next song is called What Happens When The Heart Just Stops. _ _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [E] _
I was telling this story last [Eb] night [D] about, _
[G] just very quickly, I'll summarise it tonight.
There was a dog in our neighbourhood when we were kids.
_ This young dog who used to sit on the corner, you know, beside our school, he would just sit on the corner.
And he never moved.
Whenever we went to school, whenever we came home from school,
weeks on end, summer holidays, the dog was always just sitting there on the corner.
_ And he _ _ was very dutiful.
He would just sit there like, [Gm] you know.
And when we'd come home from school, we'd rub him and be like, how are you?
We called him Defer.
We didn't know what his real name was.
We called him Defer, which was Defer Dog. _ _ _ _
And he was the most polite thing.
He wouldn't give us any trouble at all.
He'd just be like, you know, like, yeah, yeah, I'll try and excuse you.
But no, no, I'm back to [Gm] business.
The only time the dog would ever get in any way riled up or excited was in a white estate car.
It was like a Ford Escort estate.
It was white.
[E] He would tear after barking, losing it. _
And this was his big moment.
He'd get really excited and chase the car.
And we were thinking maybe, you know, maybe maybe, because we'd sit on the grass and watch him, you know.
We'd kind of be thinking, you know, [G] _ what the hell he's [N] thinking, man? _
You know, just, _ hi, _ _ _ Swoop.
_ _ Just play it in my head.
He just sits there all the time, doesn't do anything.
Just watching the traffic.
And then look at the car.
The white car.
Watch, watch, [E] watch, watch.
_ _ [C] _ _
[Ab] So after years of observation, we sort of sussed out that he had a thing with this white car. _
[Gm] _ We theorized, because we were in that kind of mood. _ _
_ We theorized that maybe his owner was knocked down by a white car.
And he sits on the corner where it happened.
Or maybe his owner had him in the white car and just turfed him out.
You know, _ [A] _ here, this will do.
[N] There you go, lassie.
Off you go.
Yeah, goodbye. _ _
But whatever, the dog would just sit there and wait.
So we never knew what he was waiting for, but we all fucking respected him so much.
Because this dog had a mission, you know.
[C] _ _ _
[G] So this song was kind of written from his point of view. _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] We built him a kennel [F] on the corner, me and my mates.
_ [C] _ _ It was really [G] exciting.
Bits of wood and [F] nails and hammers.
We got all sort of wild up.
We [C] made him a kennel.
[G] When he died, we buried [C] him on the corner as well.
He's still there, man.
I don't know what his [G] deal was.
But he's waiting [C] for something. _ _
