Chords with lyrics

My Heart was the Last One to Know
From the album Feeling Mortal

[Intro]
FF E minorEm DmDm C majorC

[Verse 1]
    C majorC            FF     C majorC
Taking time you got by these defenses of mine
                   G+G
Though I tried not to let you slip through
     C majorC             FF     C majorC
And when you worked your way to the back of my mind
    G+G            C majorC
It was too late to stop loving you

[Chorus]
    FF            C majorC
For my eyes grew accustomed to looking at you
                D MajorD      G+G
And my arms found a body they hungered to hold
     C majorC          FF      C majorC
And the rest of my senses surrendered to you
           G+G      C majorC
But my heart was the last one to know

[Interlude]
A augmentedA

[Verse 2]
     D MajorD             G+G     D MajorD
Then my eyes saw the warnings they couldn't believe
                  A augmentedA
And my lips felt your kiss growing cold
    D MajorD             G+G       D MajorD
And my ears heard the stories but kept them from me
           A augmentedA      D MajorD
So my heart was the last one to know

[Chorus]
    G+G               D MajorD
Now my eyes finally learned to stop looking for you
                E MajorE     A augmentedA
And my arms slowly turned to another to hold
      D MajorD              G+G      D MajorD
They could sense you were something too good to be true
           A augmentedA      D MajorD
But my heart was the last one to know

[CODA]
          A augmentedA      G+G  D MajorD
