Crimes of the Heart Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Am][Em]
[G][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
I got [G]off at your stop,
at my stock's sudden drop
I'm a trus[Am]ted doorstop or a paperweight,
tacit[Em]urn, inanimate
[G]I can sit on your shelf, like ashes foretell
A spir[Am]it in hell while the living sleep right on t[Em]hrough,
take a shortcut

[Verse 2]
And I could've called [G]I suppose,
I'm the thorn on your rose
I'm the em[Am]peror's new clothes and
I make it look easi[Em]er every time
If you'da left [G]it to me,
who knows where we would be
Reading for[Am]tunes for free in someone
else's [Em]goldmine

[Verse 3]
Survey my [Em]breaker like cheap [G]wine[Am]
You let it in some[Em]times
A floodgate you can panto
[G]mime[Am]
You let it in sometimes
[Em]

[Verse 4]
In every [G]crime of the heart,
you rip yourself apart
It's out[Am]sider art,
provokes every emo[Em]tion
And it may be[G]wilder a few,
it's an unpleasant view
You're [Am]an agent of truth,
twisted up at the tail en[Em]d

[Verse 5]
You play the [Em]villain like a viol[G]in[Am]
It comes from with[Em]in
Darkness you can be[G]friend[Am]
It comes from with[Em]in

[Verse 6]
[G]
It's a [Am]dead end, [Em]don't overextend

[Verse 7]
Hail the darkness you can befriend
[G]It's a dea[Am]d end,
[Em]don't overextend
Hail the darkness you can be

[Outro 1]
friend
[G][Am][Em]
