The Heart Is a Muscle Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Break me off a piece [Em]of that
[G]And mix it in with a little [C]wine
[G]With someone warm and smart, I gue[Em]ss
[G]With a heart in first and[C] a soul behind

[Verse 2]
And [Em]I wo[C]n't give in[G]
'Cause [Em]I wan[C]na try again[G]

[Interlude 1]
[G][C]
[G][C][G][Em]
[G][C][G][Em]
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
There will [G]be no years of silence
in the [Em]shadow of regret
I won't [G]let it so betray me,
though my [C]soul got used to it
I will [G]look at love as more than
just an in[Em]strument of pain
And will [G]give myself completely to
the [C]moving and the strange

[Verse 4]
[Em]'Cause I wan[C]na overc[G]ome
And [Em]try [C]to love someone
[G]

[Verse 5]
I will not spend the years depleted
of my [Em]willingness to try
It won't [G]hurt this way forever,
it ain't [C]worth the overtime
I'm not [G]looking for redemption
nor some [Em]shallow kind of bliss
Lay me [G]down and kiss me deeply,
show me [C]everything I missed

[Verse 6]
[Em]
[C]I haven't had e[G]nough
[Em]And [C]I wanna love someone

[Interlude 2]
[G][Em][G]
[C]

[Verse 7]
I will not [G]hurt like this forever,
I'm re[Em]sponding to the call
While there's [G]speakers in the outfield
Blasting [C]out my favourite song
I will [G]not play this out discreetly,
it is [Em]real and unashamed
I am [G]human now and terrified,
but [C]want it all the same

[Verse 8]
'Cause I [Em]wan n[C]a over[G]come
[Em]And [C]try to love someone
[G]

[Verse 9]
'Cause the [Em]heart, the heart, the [D]heart
The [C]heart is a muscle
And I wanna make it [G]strong[C][G][Em]
'Cause the heart, the heart, [D]the heart
The heart is [C]a muscle now
[G]I wanna m[C]ake it s[G]trong

[Interlude 3]
[C][G][Em][G][C][G][Em]

[Verse 10]
I [G]let bad love betray me [Em]once
But I [G]was barely outta high school [C]then
[G]And I guess I fear the same [Em]results
That [G]none will take me as I [C]am
I [G]wanna be loved, I wanna [C]be whole again
So tuck my [Em]hair behind my [D]ears
and touch my [C]soul again
The window [Em]is wide,
the post [D]unfulfilled[Em]
And I just [F]ask you to be pa[C]tient
if you'll have me still

[Verse 11]
'Cause [Em]I wan[C]na
[G]open [Em]up[C]
And try to love [G]someone
'Cause [Em]I wan[C]na overc[G]ome
And [Em]try [C]to love someone
[G]

[Verse 12]
The [Em]heart, the heart, the [D]heart
The [G]heart is a [C]muscle
[Em]The heart, the heart, the [D]heart
The [G]heart is a [C]muscle now
The [Em]heart, the heart, the [D]heart
The [G]heart is a [C]muscle now
I wanna [G]make [C]it strong
