THAT'S HOW I KNEW THIS STORY WOULD BREAK MY HEART
As recorded by Aimee Mann
(From the 2005 Album THE FORGOTTEN ARM)
[Intro]
D Em G D Em G
[Verse 1]
D Em G
I drew a picture of you
D Bm G
You and your anchor tattoo
D Bm G
And saw the face that I knew
D Bm G
Covered in shame
[Verse 2]
D Em G
You drew a bird that was here
D Bm G
A kind of sweet chanticleer
D Bm G
But with a terrible fear
D Bm G
That the cage couldn't tame
[Chorus]
A G D
That's how I knew this story would break my heart
A
When you wrote it
G D Em G
That's how I knew this story would break my heart
[Verse 3]
D Em G
So, like a ghost in the snow
D Bm G
I'm getting ready to go
D Bm G
'Cause baby, that's all I know –
D Bm G
How to open the door
[Verse 4]
D Em G
And though the exit is crude
D Bm G
It saves me coming unglued
D Bm
For when you're not in the mood
G D Bm G
For the gloves and the canvas floor
[Chorus]
A G D
That's how I knew this story would break my heart
A
When you wrote it
G D
That's how I knew this story would break my heart
[Interlude]
A
[Chorus]
A G D
That's how I knew this story would break my heart
A
When you wrote it
G D Em G
That's how I knew this story would break my heart
[Outro]
D Em G D Em G D Em G
D Em G D
