Elephant Hearter

  Em            D        G
You couldn't stand under the weight I put on you
       Am      C          Em
I understand, now it is true
       Em            D          G
I can see that there was nothing you could do
        Am    C     Em
with a sorrow so loud

      Em           D            G
If I could I'd open up and let you in
       Am       C         Em
but the door has no handles and
      Em            D         G
it would seem that I by now have worn you thin
      Am   C   Em
My heart is so hard

C Em E7 Am G D Em         Am         Em
Oooooooooooooooh, the sorrow's too loud
C Em E7 Am G D Em          Am        Em
Oooooooooooooooh, and my heart is too hard

  Em               D               G
I only wish that you would return home to be
    Am             C             Em
And I could bathe in your familiarity
   Em              D              G
But I realise this is a hopeless dream
    Am      C         Em
We have traveled too far

   Em              D                G
I also wish that I might never read again
   Am              C             Em
the same narrative under a different pen
    Em            D            G
But I fear this is a circle I am in
   Am            C   Em
for my heart is so hard

C Em E7 Am G D Em              Am         Em
Oooooooooooooooooh,We have traveled too far
C Em E7 Am G D Em         Am        Em
Oooooooooooooooooh,And this heart is so hard

       Am         Em
The sorrow's too loud
       Am         Em
We have traveled too far
       Am         C    Em
And this heart is so hard
