You Missed My Heart Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][Am][F]
[C][Em][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]Broke into her hou[Em]se, saw her sittin' the[Am]re
Drinking Coke and [F]whiskey,
in her bra and under[C]wear
Saw him in the [Em]kitchen, hangin' up the [Am]phone
I asked him nicely [F]once,
to pack his things and [C]go
He gave her a reassuring [Em]look,
said he wouldn't [Am]leave
But I asked him one more [F]time,
this time pulled out my [C]shiv
Stuck him in the [Em]back, and I
pulled it out [Am]slow
And I watched him fall [F]down,
and as the morning sun rose
He looked at [G]me

[Chorus 1]
He said, "You missed my [C]heart,
you missed my [Am]heart
You got me [F]good, I knew you [G]would
But you missed my [C]heart,
you missed my [Am]heart"
Were his last [F]words before he [G]died

[Verse 2]
[C]Lookin' out the win[Em]dow up at the blue sky[Am]
Listenin' to her [F]scream, listenin' to her [C]cry
A feeling of [Em]relief came over my [Am]soul
I couldn't take it any [F]longer and I lost con[C]trol
I chased her up the [Em]stairs,
and I pinned her to the [Am]ground
And underneath her [F]whimpering,
I could hear the sirens [C]sound
I rattled off a [Em]list of all the things I [Am]miss
Like going to the [F]movies with her,
and the way she [C]kissed me
Drivin' into [Em]downtown Wheeling,
showin' her [Am]off
Backyard barbe[F]cues and reunions in the [C]park
I said I missed her [Em]skin,
when she started laugh[Am]in'
While I clenched down on her [F]wrist,
she said, "That's quite a list,
But there's one thing you [G]missed"

[Chorus 2]
"You missed my [C]heart,
you missed my [Am]heart
That's quite a [F]list,
but what you really [G]missed
You missed my [C]heart,
you missed my [Am]heart"
That's quite a [F]list,
but what you really [G]missed"

[Verse 3]
[C]Runnin' through the the par[Em]king lot,
runnin' through the [Am]fields
Policemen on my [F]back,
somethin' hit my skull and [C]cracked
They dragged me off to [Em]jail,
set a million dollar [Am]bail
Where I tried to tie a [F]noose,
but I failed and I broke [C]loose
I went racin' through the [Em]prison yard,
shot down by a [Am]tower guard
He got me in the [F]shins,
and he got me in the [C]arms
They strapped me in the [Em]gurney,
took me off to the [Am]infirmary
Where the priest read my last [F]rites
And just before everything went [G]dark

[Chorus 3]
I said, "He missed my [C]heart,
he missed my [Am]heart
He got me [F]good, I knew he [G]would
But he missed my [C]heart,
he missed my [Am]heart"
And just be[F]fore,
everything went [G]dark

[Verse 4]
[C]The most poetic dre[Em]am
came flowin' like the [Am]sea
Layin' there, my [F]lifeblood drainin' out of [C]me
A childhood [Em]scene, night sky, moon [Am]beams
Fishin' with my [F]friends, sittin' in the wild [C]reeds
Watchin' the O[Em]hio
river flow at [Am]night
Waitin' for the [F]bullheaded catfishes to [C]bite
Downriver from the [Em]Moundsville,
Prison grave[Am]yard[F]

[Outro 1]
[C]Downriver from the Mou[Em]ndsville,
Prison grave[Am]yard[F]
[C]Downriver from the Mou[Em]ndsville,
Prison grave[Am]yard[F]
[C]Downriver from the Mou[Em]ndsville,
Prison grave[Am]yard[F]
[C]Downriver from the Mou[Em]ndsville,
Prison grave[Am]yard[F]
