How Red Is Blood From A Broken Heard

F Bb F How red is the blood from a broken heart F C How rich is the colour that bleeds Am Gm Is it scarlet and bright, a sailor's delight F Eb Bb F Or heavy; the darkness that snaps at its heels F Bb F How steady?s the pulse from a broken heart F C How certain the rhythm it keeps Am Gm Is it even and strong like the strike of a drum F Eb Bb F Or does it stagger and lurch with every beat Solo same as a verse F Bb F How deep is the wound I inflicted on you F C And the cut that I gave to myself Am Gm How long for to heal, for to scar, for to feel F Eb Bb F That my body has mended and returned to health F Bb F How soon will my thoughts stop turning to you F C At the breaking of every day Am Gm Before every road, every place that I go F Eb Bb F Will no longer whisper, nor cry out your name Bb C Db Dm G Ooooh The answers we seek are elusive; shadows in a cindery night Bb Am A Dm Ooooh Locked up and hidden away Db With the heavens and the bookends of time Bb C Db Dm Ooooh We know how the heart and its chambers G Feed the body and keep it alive Bb Dm But no one can say why the broken heart aches Am Gm And where it will lead you and I Ab F Bb F How red is the blood from a broken heart F C How rich is the colour that bleeds Am Gm Is it welcome and warm like the first flush of dawn F Eb Bb F Or as cold as the tears that fall down your cheek
