Oh this precious little heart I have

Once caged in iron ribs

[Verse 2]
C#m E A A
And this precious little heart I have
E B
Would take everything you own
E B
Just to make itself whole
C#m G# A
And I should have seen it ‘fore we began
E B
I could have saved your precious little heart
A
From the wretched heart I have
A
[Chorus]
B
And these lessons never learned
A E
Come a-hammering down
Time and again
B
My face is burning red
C#m B
Singing “you knew it, boy you knew it,
A (let ring)
But you did it anyway,
C#m A
And you got the nerve to call yourself a man
E A
When all consequences swept up like sand.”

It’s like the devil’s got his own icy hand
E B
Wrapped ‘round this precious little heart I have.

Been shot down once again
A
By this wretched heart I have
A
[Chorus]

And these lessons never learned

Come a-hammering down
Time and again
B
My face is burning red

But you did it anyway,

And you got the nerve to call yourself a man

When all consequences swept up like sand.”
