Version 1E C#m A A E It was a ruby that she wore C#m On a chain around her neck A B In the shape of a heart A B In the shape of a heart E It was a time I won't forget C#m For the sorrow and regret A And the shape of a heart A And the shape of a heart E C#m A B A I guess I never knew B What she was talking about A B A I guess I never knew B What she was living without E C#m People speak of love dont know what theyre thinking of A Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove A Speak in terms of belief and belonging E C#m A A Try to fit some name to their longing E There was a hole left in the wall C#m From some ancient fight A B About the size of a fist A B Or something thrown that had missed E And there were other holes as well C#m In the house where our nights fell A B Far too many to repair A B In the time that we were there E C#m People speak of love dont know what theyre thinking of A Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove A Speak in terms of belief and belonging E C#m A A Try to fit some name to their longing E C#m A You keep it up B You try so hard A B To keep a life from coming apart A And never know B A What breaches and faults are concealed B (A B) x4 E C#m A A In the shape of a heart E It was the ruby that she wore C#m On a stand beside the bed A B In the hour before dawn A B When I knew she was gone E And I held it in my hand C#m For a little while A B And dropped it into the wall A B Let it go, heard it fall A B A I guess I never knew B What she was talking about A B A I guess I never knew B What she was living without E C#m People speak of love dont know what theyre thinking of A Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove A Speak in terms of a life and the living E C#m A A Try to find the word for forgiving A You keep it up B You try so hard A B To keep a life from coming apart A And never know B A B What breaches and faults are concealed { A B x4 In the shape of a heart} E C#m A A E
