C Am F G

Capo 4

[Intro]
C Am F G F G (2x)

[Verse 1]
         C
It was a ruby that she wore
     Am
On a chain around her neck
       F                G
In the shape of a heart
       F                G
In the shape of a heart
         C
It was a time I won't forget
        Am
For the sorrow and regret
        F               G
And the shape of a heart
        F               G
And the shape of a heart
C Am
F               G
I guess I never knew
             F             G
What she was talking about
F               G
I guess I never knew
             F              G
What she was living without

[Chorus]
C
People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of
Am
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
F                 G
Speak in terms of belief and belonging
F               G
Try to fit some name to their longing
C
People speak of love

[Instrumental]
Am F G F G

[Verse 2]
            C
There was a hole left in the wall
          Am
From some ancient fight
          F             G
About the size of a fist
             F                      G
Or something thrown that had missed
               C
And there were other holes as well
       Am
In the house where our nights fell
        F              G
Far too many to repair
       F                       G
In the time that we were there

[Chorus]
C
People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of
Am
Reach out to each other through the push and shove
F                   G
Speak in terms of a life and the learning
F                 G
Try to think of a word for the burning
    F
You keep it up
    G
You try so hard
   F                G
To keep a life from coming apart
    F
And never know
     G                       F
What breaches and faults are concealed
       G
In the shape of a heart
       F               G
In the shape of a heart
       F               G
In the shape of a heart

[Verse 3]
           C
It was the ruby that she wore
     Am
On a stand beside the bed
       F               G
In the hour before dawn
       F                G
When I knew she was gone
      C
And I held it in my hand
      Am
For a little while
           F            G
Dropped it into the wall
         F                   G
I let it go and heard it fall
F               G
I guess I never knew
             F            G
What she was talking about
F               G
I guess I never knew
             F             G
What she was living without

[Chorus/Outro]
C
People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of
Am
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
F                   G
Speak in terms of a life and the living
F               G
Try to find the word for forgiving
    F
You keep it up
    G
You try so hard
   F                G
To keep a life from coming apart
    F
And never know
    G                F
The shallows and the unseen reefs
         G
That are there from the start
       F               G
In the shape of a heart
       F               G
In the shape of a heart
       F               G
In the shape of a heart
       F               G
In the shape of a heart
       F               G
In the shape of a heart
