At The Heart Of This Thing

D  Am  D  Am

[Verse 1]
            Bm
You made me mad
         C             G
What was I supposed to say?
             Bm
The choice I had
       C              G
Was to turn the other way
          Em                 A7
But I saw you dance and everything changed
         C
And everything changed


[Chorus]
                        D      C
And at the heart of this thing
                  G
I had such good intentions
          C                  Em              D    Am
You never mentioned that you wouldn't last a day
                        D      C
And at the heart of this thing
                  G
I'm no good at pretending
                  C                    Em            D   Am  D  Am
I couldn't help resenting what I would never hear you say__


[Verse 2]
          Bm
Out of my mind
        C               G
And I'm on some kind of chase
            Bm
While you decide
        C               G
Just to lock yourself away
                   Em                A7
But you're sure to shine, you know I can dream
           C
You know I can dream


[Chorus]
                        D      C
And at the heart of this thing
                  G
I had such good intentions
          C                  Em              D    Am
You never mentioned that you wouldn't last a day
                        D      C
And at the heart of this thing
                  G
I'm no good at pretending
                  C                    Em            D   Am  D  Am
I couldn't help resenting what I would never hear you say__


[Bridge]
            C              G               F
And, baby, I've got such a good feeling about you
                         D   C  Em
And I just can't shake it loose____


[Instrumental]
Em  G  C  Em  D  C


[Verse 3]
            Bm
And I'll survive
     C             G         Em
'Til I'd rather go down in a fight
           A7
Oh, baby, be brave
                  C
Come on, baby, be brave


[Chorus]
                        D      C
And at the heart of this thing
                  G
I had such good intentions
              C                  Em              D    Am
But you never mentioned that you wouldn't last a day
                    D      C
At the heart of this thing
                  G
I'm no good at pretending
                  C                    Em            D   Am  D   Am  D  Am
I couldn't help resenting what I would never hear you say__, ohh
