Happy Hearts chords by Okkervil River

Em
Why must happy hearts break so hard
D
 leave you curled up in the back seat of a car,
Am7
staring up at the windshield?
G
When will broken hearts learn how to heal?

Em
This boy I knew was five years older than me
D

His daddy'd left him when he was three.
Am7
After we went walking by a stream,
D
he held me down and made me feel as bad as he.


Em
Why must happy hearts break so hard,
D
 leave you standing in the darkness of the barn,
Am7
 staring at those rusty wheels?
G
 When will broken hearts learn how to heal?


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


Em
Mother, why do you sleep with him?
D
He says he's smothering, then he comes back again,
Am7
in our house for the weekend.
G
Why must people's breaking hearts pretend?

Em
Why must happy hearts break so hard,
D
leave you staring in the mirror at a bar?
Am7
Leave you talking to yourself,
G
