C
(início)
C Em The heart wants to feel. The heart wants to hold Am F The heart takes past Subway, past Stop and Shop, past Beal's, and calls it coming home Dm G The heart wants a trail away from alone Dm F G So the heart turns a sale into a well-worn milestone
Verse 2
C Em The heart wants soft furniture, fought-for fast food Am F Defended end table that holds paperbacks and back U.S. News Dm G The mind turns an itch into a bruise Dm F G And the hands start to twitch and theyre feeling ill-used
Verse 3
C Em But you're almost back now, you can see by the signs Am F From the bank you tell the temperature and then the time, and the billboard reads some headlines Dm G The head wants to turn, to avert both its eyes Dm F G But the mind wants to learn of some truth that might be inside reported crimes
Verse 4
C Em So they found a lieutenant who killed a village of kids Am F After finishing off the wives, he wiped off his knife and that's what he did Dm G And they're not claiming that theres any excusing it Dm F G That was thirty years back, and they just get paid for the facts the way they got them in
Verse 5
C Em Now hes rising and not denying. His hands are shaking, but hes not crying Am F And hes saying how did I climb out of a life so boring into that moment? G C Em Please stop ignoring the heart inside, oh you readers at home! Am F While you gasp at my bloody crimes, please take the time to make your heart my home Dm G Where I'm forgiven by time, where I'm cushioned by hope Dm F G Where I'm numbed by long drives, where I'm talked off or doped
Verse 6
C Em Does the heart want to atone? Oh, I believe that its so Am F Because if I could climb back through time, I'd restore their lives and then give back my own Dm G Ten times now its size on a far distant road Dm F G In a far distant time where every night I'm still crying, entirely alone
Verse 7
F G Am But the news today always fades away as you drive by F C G Until at dinnertime when you look into her eyes F G C Am Lit by evening sun - that, as usual, comes from above that straight, unbroken line F G F G C G Am The horizon - its rising seems a gi-ven F G Just like your li-ving
Verse 8
C Em Your hearts warm and kind. Your mind is your own Am F So our blood-spattered criminal is inscrutable; dont worry, he wont Dm G Rise up behind your eyes and take wild control Dm F G Say "hes not of this time, he fell out of a hole"
