I was always working steady

I got my shit together

Meeting Christ and reading Marx

It failed my little fire

Go tell the young messiah
A7
What happens to the heart

[Interlude]
Dm Bb Bb/G A7

[Verse 2]
Dm
There\’s a mist of summer kisses
Bb
Where I tried to double-park

The rivalry was vicious

The women were in charge

It was nothing, it was business
Bb
But it left an ugly mark
Bb/G
I\’ve come here to revisit
A7
What happens to the heart

[Interlude]
Dm Bb Bb/G A7

[Verse 3]
Dm
I was selling holy trinkets
Bb
I was dressing kind of sharp

Had a pussy in the kitchen

And a panther in the yard
Dm
In the prison of the gifted
Bb
I was friendly with the guards
Bb/G
So I never had to witness
A7 Bb
What happens to the heart

[Interlude]
Bb/G F A7

[Verse 4]
Dm
I should have seen it coming
Bb
After all I knew the chart

Just to look at her was trouble

It was trouble from the start

Sure we played a stunning couple
Bb
But I never liked the part

It ain\’t pretty, it ain\’t subtle
A7
What happens to the heart

[Interlude]

Dm
Now the angel\’s got a fiddle
Bb
The devil\’s got a harp

Every soul is like a minnow

Every mind is like a shark

I\’ve broken every window
Bb
But the house, the house is dark
Bb/G
I care but very little
A7
What happens to the heart

[Interlude]
Dm Bb Bb/G A7

[Verse 6]
Dm
Then I studied with this beggar
Bb
He was filthy, he was scarred
Bb/G
By the claws of many women
A7
He had failed to disregard
Dm
No fable here no lesson
Bb
No singing meadowlark
Bb/G
Just a filthy beggar guessing
A7 Bb
What happens to the heart

[Interlude]
Bb/G F A7

[Verse 7]
Dm
I was always working steady
Bb
But I never called it art
Bb/G
It was just some old convention

Like the horse before the cart

I had no trouble betting

On the flood, against the ark
Bb/G
You see, I knew about the ending
A7 Dm
What happens to the heart

[Interlude]
Dm Bb Bb/G A7

I was handy with a rifle

My father\’s .303

I fought for something final
