Intro:

 C#    | F#    | C#    | C#    :


Verse 1:
C#                  F#maj9         C#
You found her on a Saturday afternoon
  C#             D#m              G#
A# wildflower hitchhiking to the moon
               A#m                  D#
You gave her a place, a cup holder vase
                   F#maj9
I thought it was a safe space for her to bloom

Verse 2:
C#                  F#maj9        C#   C#4   C#
Gold and blue in a wash of neon light
C#                  D#m               G#
Sun-drunk spinning summer dancehall night
                        A#m                          D#7
Then you got your hands on her, there were promises made
                 F#maj9                D#7
I knew she was a goner, but I wasn't afraid


Chorus:
              F#                    C#         G#
How could you do it, take off and steal her away
          F#                     C#            G#
So she's stuck on your chapter, pressed to a page
Fm7                         A#m      G#                  D#
Hidden on a shelf, I wonder how the hell can I get her back
               F#    G#       C#   C#4   C#
When she's the only heart I have


Verse 3:
C#                    F#                C#
How I've learned the way that silence sets
     C#                   D#m            G#
Into walls that once had laughter to reflect
           A#m                            D#
Now I only hear her when you pick up the line
                      F#maj7                 D#
Pounding through the static, I say that I'm fine


Chorus:
              F#                C#       G#
How could you do it, turn us into a cliche
           F#                             C#         G#
Put her in tired old boxes, blocking the rear view pane
           Fm7                         A#m            G#                   D#
Or did you throw her in the trunk with all the other junk you thought to pack
          F#    G#       C#   C#4   C#
She's the only heart I have


Bridge:
 Fm    | D#m    | F#     | G#  D#  :

Chorus:
                           F#                          C#         G#
I'm telling my friends you blew it but they know that isn't the case
          F#                            C#          G#
Cause I'm sitting on your porch like a dog in the rain
   Fm7                       A#m          G#                D#
If you don't come home, then how I am supposed to get her back
          F#    G#       A#m
She's the only heart I have
        F#maj7  G#       D#m
Oh, the only   heart I have
          F#    G#       C#
She's the only heart I have
