FF

  FF            Bb majorBb   FF
How red is the blood from a broken heart
  FF            C majorC
How rich is the colour that bleeds
   A minorAm           G minorGm
Is it scarlet and bright, a sailor's delight
  FF      Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb     FF
Or heavy; the darkness that snaps at its heels

   FF             Bb majorBb  FF
How steady?s the pulse from a broken heart
   FF           C majorC
How certain the rhythm it keeps
   A minorAm            G minorGm
Is it even and strong like the strike of a drum
      FF      Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb  FF
Or does it stagger and lurch with every beat

Solo same as a verse

   FF         Bb majorBb      FF
How deep is the wound I inflicted on you
    FF          C majorC
And the cut that I gave to myself
  A minorAm            G minorGm
How long for to heal, for to scar, for to feel
    FF     Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb      FF
That my body has mended and returned to health

  FF             Bb majorBb     FF
How soon will my thoughts stop turning to you
    FF         C majorC
At the breaking of every day
  A minorAm           G minorGm
Before every road, every place that I go
   FF     Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb      FF
Will no longer whisper, nor cry out your name


   Bb majorBb       C majorC    DbDb    DmDm         G+G
Ooooh The answers we seek are elusive;    shadows in a cindery night
   Bb majorBb       A minorAm   A augmentedA DmDm
Ooooh Locked up and hidden away
             DbDb
With the heavens and the bookends of time
   Bb majorBb       C majorC       DbDb   DmDm
Ooooh We know how the heart and its chambers
          G+G
Feed the body and keep it alive
   Bb majorBb           DmDm
But no one can say why the broken heart aches
  A minorAm             G minorGm
And where it will lead you and I

AbAb

  FF            Bb majorBb   FF
How red is the blood from a broken heart
   FF            C majorC
How rich is the colour that bleeds
   A minorAm             G minorGm
Is it welcome and warm like the first flush of dawn
    FF      Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb       FF
Or as cold as the tears that fall down your cheek
