Verse 1:
G                C                                       G
When it comes to breakin' hearts, I know who takes first prize
     D7              G              A7           D7
I'll bet you used to pull the wings off of butterflies
    G              D7             G                 C
And find you liked tyin' tin cans to those puppies' tails
    C              G              D7            G
And even threw the neighbor's cat down into the well

Chorus:
         C                                      G
You tied tin cans to my heart, instead of other things
    D7             G                  A7               D7
You still remember all your mean ways    of inflicting pain
    G                D7             G            C
You sure knew how to pull the wings of our love apart
       C                  G                    D7             G
You've thrown my dreams into the well and tied tin cans to my heart

Verse 2:
    G                    C                               G
You smiled and coaxed to lead me on while laughing to my back
      D7           G           A7            D7
And I was helpless as a kitten    in a gunny sack
  G              D7         G                 C
I wasn't hurting anyone the day you picked on me
     C                 G                D7                  G
I'll bet you there's a rusty nail where your heart ought to be


Chorus:
         C                                      G
You tied tin cans to my heart, instead of other things
    D7             G                  A7               D7
You still remember all your mean ways    of inflicting pain
    G                D7             G            C
You sure knew how to pull the wings of our love apart
       C                  G                    D7             G
You've thrown my dreams into the well and tied tin cans to my heart
