[Verse 1]
I was aDmlways working steady
But I nBbever called it art
IBb/G got my shit together
Meeting ChA7rist and reading Marx
It faDmiled my little fire
But it's bBbright, the dying spark
Go Bb/Gtell the young messiah
WA7hat happens to the heart
[Interlude]
||: Dm | Bb | Bb/G | A7 ||
[Verse 2]
There's a Dmmist of summer kisses
Where I tBbried to double-park
The rBb/Givalry was vicious
The wA7omen were in charge
It was noDmthing, it was business
But it lBbeft an ugly mark
I've Bb/Gcome here to revisit
WA7hat happens to the heart
[Interlude]
||: Dm | Bb | Bb/G | A7 ||
[Verse 3]
I was seDmlling holy trinkets
I was drBbessing kind of sharp
Had a pBb/Gussy in the kitchen
And a paA7nther in the yard
In the prDmison of the gifted
I was frBbiendly with the guards
So I nBb/Gever had to witness
A7What happens to the hBbeart
[Interlude]
||: Bb/G | F | A7 ||
[Verse 4]
I sDmhould have seen it coming
After Bball I knew the chart
Just to Bb/Glook at her was trouble
It was trA7ouble from the start
Sure we pDmlayed a stunning couple
But I nBbever liked the part
It ain't pBb/Gretty, it ain't subtle
WA7hat happens to the heart
[Interlude]
||: Dm | Bb | Bb/G | A7 ||
[Verse 5]
Now the aDmngel's got a fiddle
The dBbevil's got a harp
Every Bb/Gsoul is like a minnow
Every mA7ind is like a shark
I've bDmroken every window
But the hBbouse, the house is dark
I Bb/Gcare but very little
WA7hat happens to the heart
[Interlude]
||: Dm | Bb | Bb/G | A7 ||
[Verse 6]
Then I stDmudied with this beggar
He was fBbilthy, he was scarred
By the cBb/Glaws of many women
He had faA7iled to disregard
No fDmable here no lesson
No siBbnging meadowlark
Just a fBb/Gilthy beggar guessing
WA7hat happens to the hBbeart
[Interlude]
||: Bb/G | F | A7 ||
[Verse 7]
I was aDmlways working steady
But I nBbever called it art
It was jBb/Gust some old convention
Like the hA7orse before the cart
I Dmhad no trouble betting
On the fBblood, against the ark
You see, I Bb/Gknew about the ending
WA7hat happens Dmto the heart
[Interlude]
||: Dm | Bb | Bb/G | A7 :||
[Outro]
I was hDmandy with a rifle
My faBbther's .303
I fBb/Gought for something final
Not the rA7ight to disagree
