This Ones From The Heart

Tom: Cm

Fm9            C#9
  I should go out and honk the horn
Fm9                  D#7
  It's Independence Day
Fm9       C#9                Fm9         D#7
  But instead I just pour myself a drink
Fm9     C#9            Fm9                      D#7
  It's got to be love, I've never felt this way
G7
  Oh baby,
G#maj7
This one's from the heart

[Verse 2 - Crystal]
Fm9                   C#9              Fm9       D#7
  The shadows on the wall look like a railroad track
Fm9  C#9           Fm9          D#7
  I wonder if he's ever comin' back
Fm9    C#9                 Fm9           D#7
  The moon's a yellow stain across the sky
G7
  Oh baby,
          G#maj7
This one's from the heart

[Verse 3 - Tom]
Fm9            C#9              Fm9                  D#7
  And I'll go down to the corner and get a racin' form
Fm9              C#9              Fm9                D#7
  But I should probably wait here by the phone
Fm9                       C#9               Fm9      D#7
  And the brakes need adjustment on the convertible
G7
  Oh baby,
G#maj7
This one's from the heart

[Verse 4 - Crystal]
Fm9             C#9            Fm9       D#7
  The worm is climbin' the avocado tree
Fm9            C#9              Fm9      D#7
  Rubbin' its back against the wall
Fm9   C#9    Fm9              D#7
  Pour myself a double sympathy
G7
  Oh baby,
          G#maj7
This one's from the heart

[Verse 5 - Tom]
Fm9      C#9                 Fm9             D#7
 Blondes, brunettes, and redheads put their hammer down
Fm9   C#9                         Fm9     D#7
  To pound a cold chisel through my heart
Fm9              C#9          Fm9            D#7
  But they were nothin' but apostrophes
G7
  Oh baby,
G#maj7
This one's from the heart

[Verse 6 - Crystal]
Fm9            C#9              Fm9        D#7
  I can't tell, is that a siren or a saxophone
Fm9        C#9                 Fm9         D#7
  But the roads get so slippery when it rains
Fm9  C#9                     Fm9                 D#7
  I love you more than all these words can ever say
G7
  Oh baby,
             G#maj7
This one's from the heart
