Happy Hearts chords by Okkervil River

Chords with lyrics

E minorEm
Why must happy hearts break so hard
D MajorD
 leave you curled up in the back seat of a car,
Am7Am7
staring up at the windshield?
G+G
When will broken hearts learn how to heal?

E minorEm
This boy I knew was five years older than me
D MajorD
His daddy'd left him when he was three.
Am7Am7
After we went walking by a stream,
D MajorD
he held me down and made me feel as bad as he.

E minorEm
Why must happy hearts break so hard,
D MajorD
 leave you standing in the darkness of the barn,
Am7Am7
 staring at those rusty wheels?
G+G
 When will broken hearts learn how to heal?


E minorEm
And everybody's searching for a place to put their love.
G+G
See the people on the street?
D MajorD
They go home and what do you think they dream of?
E minorEm
U-n-e.
 D MajorD
Why did you leave me?


E minorEm
Mother, why do you sleep with him?
D MajorD
He says he's smothering, then he comes back again,
Am7Am7
in our house for the weekend.
G+G
Why must people's breaking hearts pretend?

E minorEm
Why must happy hearts break so hard,
D MajorD
leave you staring in the mirror at a bar?
Am7Am7
Leave you talking to yourself,
G+G
