IN THE SHAPE OF A HEART CHORDS

[Start]

[Intro]
E Dbm7 Dbm A B A B B7
             


[Verse]
         E                 
It was a ruby that she wore
     Dbm   Db7            
On a chain around her neck
       A                B
In the shape of a heart 
A                        
 In the shape of a heart
         E                  
It was a time I won't forget
        Dbm              
For the sorrow and regret
        A                B
And the shape of a heart 
        A               
And the shape of a heart
B B7 E Dbm A
       
B         A         
I guess I never knew
             B             A
What she was talking about 
B           A         
 I guess I never knew
             B             
What she was living without


[Chorus]
E                                                       Dbm
 People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of 
Dbm7                Dbm                      A    
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
                  B          A        
Speak in terms of belief and belonging
                B             E       Dbm7
Try to fit some name to their longing    


[Verse]
A                 B   
 People speak of love
            E                    
There was a hole left in the wall
          Dbm          
From some ancient fight
          A             
About the size of a fist
   B           A                      B
Or  something thrown that had missed 
B7            E                  
  There were other holes as well
       Dbm                        
In the house where our nights fell
       A       B     
Far to many to repair
       A            B         
In the time that we were there


[Chorus]
E                                                          Dbm
 People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of   
                                             A    
Reach out to each other through the push and shove
                    B                    
Speak in terms of a life and the learning
A                   B            E       Dbm7
 Try to think of a word for the burning    
A              B              
You keep it up you try so hard
A                   B           
To keep a life from coming apart
A            B                 A                   
 Never know what breaches and faults are concealed
       B          A    
In the shape of a heart
B                   A    
 In the shape of a heart
B Db7 A B
     
                  A    
In the shape of a heart


[Inst]
B E Dbm Dbm7 A B A B
            


[Verse]
           E                 
It was the ruby that she wore
     Dbm7  Dbm           
On a stand beside the bed
       A                B
In the hour before dawn 
       A                 B
When I knew she was gone 
B7     E                   
  And I held it in my hand
      Dbm7   Dbm  
For a little while
A                       
Dropped it into the wall
         A                   
I let it go and heard it fall


[Chorus]
B B7 A B A B
      
A B A B
   


[Verse]
          A         
I guess I never knew
             B             A
What she was talking about 
B         A         
I guess I never knew
             B             
What she was living without


[Chorus]
E                                                       Dbm7
 People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of  
                    Db7                      A    
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
                    B                   A
Speak in terms of a life and the living 
                B        E         Dbm7
Try to find the word for forgiving    
A              B              
You keep it up you try so hard
A                   B           
To keep a life from coming apart
A                B                    A          
 And never know the shallows and the unseen reef
         B                   
That are there from the start
                  A    
In the shape of a heart
B                   A    
 In the shape of a heart
B Db7 A B
     
                  A     B
In the shape of a heart 
A B                   A     B
  In the shape of a heart 
A B                   A     B A
  In the shape of a heart  
B                   A    
 In the shape of a heart
