The Queen of Hearts Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]It's the search for a church
in [Am]the bottom of your purse
A [D]spiritual home that you
can [C]take to the mall
You [G]dig and you dig but you can
[Am]only find your wallet
And your [B]phone [Am]with a hundred
missed [C]calls
You could [Em]never re[D]turn them [C]all
[G]

[Verse 2]
And I watch you with your purse
from the ad[Am]jacent coffee table
At [D]the Starbucks they built
inside [C]my heart
When your [G]makeup starts to run you
can [Am]see you're getting older
You can [B]see [Am]your life has been hard[C]
Your face is [Em]worn like an [D]old
playing [C]card
[G]The Queen of Hearts
The Queen of [Am]Hearts

[Interlude 1]

[C]

[Verse 3]
I am [G]working in my bedroom,
I'm com[Am]posing all the music
For [D]a film that will never by [C]made
It's [G]the story of my life,
a one [Am]million-hour epic
epic
About a [Bm]good [Am]man who went
down in [C]flames
Who got [Em]lost in God's [D]multitude [C]of names
[G]

[Verse 4]
I am searching, I am searching,
I [Am]am waving my antennae
Trying [D]to pick up some signal
through [C]this dream
I'm [G]an ant in a hill, but I [Am]think and I feel
And I'm com[B]posing [Am]these love
letters to [C]the Queen
Hoping [Em]somebody [D]will see
[C]what I mean
The Queen of [G]Hearts
Ah the Queen of [Am]Hearts[C]
[G]The Queen of [Am]Hearts

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][Am]
[C]

[Verse 5]
I always [G]heard about God with
[Am]a wink and a nod
I guess [D]I took it all too seriously
[C]But I was fiv[G]e years old
and I [Am]took what I was told
To [Bm]mean that [Am]the sublime was in my [C]reach
That the ocean [Em]of th[D]e known
ends at [C]the beach
Just up the street
[G]

[Verse 6]
But these days people like that
are con[Am]sidered aberrations
And I'm [D]being corrected as [C]we speak
This is my [G]heart, it's a motor,
it [Am]will search the world over
[B]A search [Am]engine, see what [C]I mean
I don't [Em]need the Internet,
[D]I don't need TV[C]
To [G]find the Queen
The Queen of [Am]Hearts[C]
[G]The Queen [Am]of H[C]earts

[Verse 7]
So if you [G]ever find that church
that [Am]fits in your purse
Put it [D]into your cold metal shopping [C]cart
And keep on [G]wandering the aisles
on [Am]the sick fluorescent tiles
We'll [Bm]be miles [Am]and miles apart[C]
I've got my [Em]own search
and I'm [D]still just at [C]the start
I'll be [Em]out on t[D]he highways
looking [C]for my coun[D]terpart
[Gm]The [G]Queen of Heart[Am]s
