Verse 1:
    Dm
I was always working steady
    Bb
But I never called it art
 Bb/G
I got my shit together
     A7
Meeting Christ and reading Marx
   Dm
It failed my little fire
     Bb
But it's bright, the dying spark
  Bb/G
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
   Bb/G
The rivalry was vicious
   A7
The women were in charge
     Dm
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
    Bb/G
Had a pussy in the kitchen
    A7
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
    Bb/G
Just to look at her was trouble
     A7
It was trouble from the start
     Dm
Sure we played a stunning couple
    Bb
But I never liked the part
     Bb/G
It ain't pretty, it ain't subtle
 A7
What happens to the heart

Interlude:

||: Dm | Bb | Bb/G | A7 ||

Verse 5:
     Dm
Now the angel's got a fiddle
   Bb
The devil's got a harp
   Bb/G
Every soul is like a minnow
    A7
Every mind is like a shark
   Dm
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
     A7
Like the horse before the cart
 Dm
I had no trouble betting
    Bb
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 :||


Outro:
    Dm
I was handy with a rifle
   Bb
My father's .303
  Bb/G
I fought for something final
     A7
Not the right to disagree
