Tracy Grammer - In The Shape Of A Heart


CAPO: 1st Fret



INTRO: G


It was a ruby that she wore
     Em
On a chain around her neck
       C                D
In the shape of a heart
       C                D
In the shape of a heart
         G
It was a time I won't forget
        Em
For the sorrow and regret
        C                 D
And the shape of a heart
        C                 D   C
And the shape of a heart

  D               C
I__ guess I never knew
             D              C
What she was talking about
  D               C
I__ guess I never knew
             D               G
What she was living without


                                                          Em
People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of
                                                    C
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
                    D                  C
Speak in terms of belief and belonging
                D                      G   Em   C
Try to fit some name to their longing


          G
There's a hole left in the wall
          Em
From some ancient fight
          C               D
About the size of a fist
             C                       D
Or something thrown that had missed
               G
And there were other holes as well
       Em
In the house where our nights fell
        C         D
Far too many to repair
       C                 D       G
In the time that we were there


                                                          Em
People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of
                                                    C
Reach out to each other through the push and shove
                    D                     C
Speak in terms of a life and the learning
                  D                      G   Em   C
Try to think of a word for the burning


                D
You keep it up
                 C
You try so hard
                       D            C
To keep your life from coming apart
                D
And never know
                  C
What breaches and faults are concealed
       D                 C  D
In the shape of a heart
                  C      D
In the shape of a heart
                  C      D
In the shape of a heart


N.C.       G
It was the ruby that she wore
     Em
On a stand beside the bed
       C                 D
In the hour before dawn
           C                  D
And then I knew she was gone
      G
And I held it in my hand
      Em
For a little while
               C             D
And dropped it into the wall
       C                D  C   D  C  D  C
Let it go, heard it fall____


  D               C
I__ guess I never knew
             D              C
What she was talking about
  D               C
I__ guess I never knew
             D               G
What she was living without


                                                          Em
People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of
                                                    C
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
                    D                     C
Speak in terms of a life and the living
                D                 G   Em   C
Try to find the word for forgiving______


                D
You keep it up
                 C
You try so hard
                       D            C
To keep your life from coming apart
                D
And never know
                     C
The shallows and the unseen reefs
         D                C   D
That are there from the start
                  C      D
In the shape of a heart
                  C      D
In the shape of a heart
                  C      D
In the shape of a heart
                  C      D
In the shape of a heart
