Every Word Was a Piece Of My Heart

          D                A           D            G
I've been staring at the page for what seems like days
  D                       A         D            D
I guess I put this one off for a while
                                  A
Did I see a tear fall from your eyes ?
           D                         G
Or did you laugh so hard that you cried ?
       D                      A               D
When I served my secrets on a silver tray to you (hey now)

Em7                 G                        G
Hey now, I guess the night's just bringing me down

           D                G
There's no love, there's no hate
            D                  G
I left them there for you to take
              D                A             D
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)

                   D          A
You've been the blood in my veins
                 D                 G
The only one who knows my middle name
        D                   A             D
And the smiles, they came easy 'cause of you (hey now)
                 D                A
You know that I love you, but I hate you
         D                   G
'Cause I know I can never escape you
           D                A                   D
So let the choir sing for tonight I'm an easy mark (hey now)

Em7           G
Hey now, am I acting just a little too proud ?

           D                G
There's no love, there's no hate
            D                  G
I left them there for you to take
              D                A             D
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
       D            A
Have I said too much
        D                G
Maybe I haven't said enough
              D                A             D             D
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)

A                           G          D
Hush me darling, maybe I've lost my touch
           A              A
Maybe I've lost my guts
               G
There, is that truth enough ?

Em7      G
Hey now, hey now

[Solo] D  G  D  G  D  G  D
                      D                A
You know these love letters mix with whisky
           D                       G
Just don't light a match when you kiss me
            D              A                 D
Though I'll blow away, you know I'll be back soon (hey now)

Em7      G        Em7           G
Hey now, hey now, hey now, am I talking just a little too loud ?

           D                G
There's no love, there's no hate
            D                 G
I left them there for you to take
             D                 A             D
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
       D            A
Have I said too much
        D                G
Maybe I haven't said enough
              D                A             D             D
But know that every word was a piece of my heart

Em7          G
Hey now, the night's just bringing me down
