EC#mAAE
It was a ruby that she wore
C#m
On a chain around her neck
A
In the shape of a heart
A
In the shape of a heart
E
It was a time I wont forget
C#m
For the sorrow and regret
A
And the shape of a heart
A
And the shape of a heart
EC#mABA
I guess I never knew
B
What she was talking about
ABA
I guess I never knew
B
What she was living without
EC#m
People speak of love dont know what theyre thinking of
A
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
A
Speak in terms of belief and belonging
EC#mAA
Try to fit some name to their longing
There was a hole left in the wall
From some ancient fight
About the size of a fist
Or something thrown that had missed
And there were other holes as well
In the house where our nights fell
Far too many to repair
In the time that we were there
EC#m
People speak of love dont know what theyre thinking of
A
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
A
Speak in terms of belief and belonging
EC#mAA
Try to fit some name to their longing
EC#mA
You keep it up
B
You try so hard
AB
To keep a life from coming apart
A
And never know
BA
What breaches and faults are concealed
B (AB)x4 EC#mAA
In the shape of a heart
It was the ruby that she wore
On a stand beside the bed
In the hour before dawn
When I knew she was gone
And I held it in my hand
For a little while
And dropped it into the wall
Let it go, heard it fall
ABA
I guess I never knew
B
What she was talking about
ABA
I guess I never knew
B
What she was living without
People speak of love dont know what theyre thinking of
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
Speak in terms of a life and the living
Try to find the word for forgiving
A
You keep it up
B
You try so hard
AB
To keep a life from coming apart
A
And never know
BA
What breaches and faults are concealed
B (AB)x4 EC#mAA
In the shape of a heart
