Dagger Heart chords by Guy Smith
Guitar chords with lyrics
Tuning: Open E (E B E G# B E) Verse 1: C G She wielded love like a knife, he wore his heart on his sleeve D A Her needs came and they went, he had a need to believe C G In a Frisco coffee house, his songs poured like merlot Dm Am Into her ears and her veins, she just had to say “hello” D F Heart lighter than air, his poetic eclipse C G Odes to romance, a smile stretched on his lips Dm Am They talked away hours, shared the morning’s afterglow G Esus Packed both their bags and they hit the road
Verse 2:
C G
His gigs became fewer once they reached Santa Fe
D A
She wanted to run, he held her close anyway
C G
His love became her anger, his heart wanted to explode
Dm Am
Then that night in Tulsa, she didn’t make the show
D F
In a dirty backstage room, he wrote songs of disperse
C G
Confusion soaked lyrics, minor chords hung in the air
Dm Am
His poetry poisoned, fear rattling his bones
G Esus
He peered through the spot light, he knew he was alone
Bridge:
Am Em
Bend them ‘till you break, drink away the ache
Dm Am
Music pours like sweat, spend all night awake
Em F#m
Was she really there, did she ever care
G#m Am
Did she know she would make a heart with a tear
Verse 3:
C G
At a truck stop near Dallas, his wallet now hers
D A
An 18 wheel Jimmy took off in a blur
C G
Stranded, abandoned, his soul stuffed in a case
Dm Am
His thumb in the air, the exhaust fumes his face
Dm
Now only whiskey and sorrow
Am
Hold back his rage
G
Growling out lonesome blues
Em Esus
