How Deep It Goes - Heart
Capo up 5 frets
A G
In the quiet afternoon you left and went down into town
D A
And I just watched the empty road behind you
A
Where the fog lies kissing the mountainside
G
You wanna lie sleeping, deep inside
D A
Believing that the hungry world won't find you
Am
Well, that's just fine, that's just fine
D Am
You've got to believe and I don't know, I don't know
D
What I believe anymore
Am
Or whether to leave, or whether to stay
E Dm7
Or what I can say to make you know
Am Dm7 A E A
How deep it goes
A
Somebody turned on the dirty blues
G
Well I know, you don't like the blues
D A
'Cause the words are always the same and they kind of remind you
Somebody turned the blues on me
G
Well I don't like the blues 'cause I can't see
D A
Through the tears that come and make it hard to find you
Am
Well come on down, come on down
D
You've got to come lay down here
Am D
and say those things, those warm things, right here in my ear
Am
The times that we had that water like wine
E Dm7
So clean and so fine to make me know
Am Dm7 A E A
How deep it goes
Am
Well, that's just fine, that's just fine
D Am
You've got to believe and I don't know, I don't know
D Am
If I could leave anymore, even though there's a scar
E
Still fresh from the war, don't think about it no more
Dm7
Let a new love flow
Am Dm7 A E A
How deep it goes
