If I Had A Heart

D F#m G Bm A

[Verse 1]
           D               F#m
The more I see, the less I understand
             G                  Bm      A
The harder I work, the poorer I feel
               D                   F#m
The deeper the faith, the more I'm broken
           G                           A
The more I hear, the less it all seems real

Then you come around
                     Bm
With your soft young skin
        G                         A
With no idea what you're about to step in

[Chorus]
             G         A
And in these times you remind me
       Bm
Of the man I used to be
           G     A                     D
If I had a heart, you'd be breaking it now

[Verse 2]
                                   F#m
I've seen hope rise, come crashing down again
                    G                     Bm      A
Seen the bashing of brains, seen the city unwind
             D                       F#m
Seen the overthrow, of dictators and tyrants
              G                       A
Seen the gory mess, they always leave behind

Then you stop by
                 Bm
Talkin 'bout yer dreams
          G                                 A
You see a world not yet ripped apart at the seams

[Chorus]
             G         A
And in these times you remind me
       Bm
Of the man I used to be
           G     A                     D   D7
If I had a heart, you'd be breaking it now

[Bridge]
           G                  A
You'll see truth, turned into lies
                Bm                    D
Light turned to dark, hearts broke in two
         G               A
Just one thing, before I die
          Em                G     G7
I want to make one lie come true

[Verse 3]
           D                  F#m
The more I read, the dumber I think I am
                 G                            Bm      A
The more money I make, the more they say I'll need
              D                   F#m
The farther I drive, the closer I am to where I started
             G                        A
The more I'm told, the less I tend to believe

Then you come around
                     Bm
With your soft young skin
        G                         A
With no idea what you're about to step in


[Chorus]
             G         A
And in these times you remind me
       Bm
Of the man I used to be
           G     A                     D     D7
If I had a heart, you'd be breaking it now
                 G                           D
If I still had a heart, you'd be breaking it now
