[intro]

E        E       A      B7     E        E          A          B7
  This heart was almost taken;   this heart had a love of its own
E        E       A   B7               E        E   A   B7
  This heart was reawakened when you came along
E        E        A        B7       E        E             A          B7
  This heart was born feet running;   this heart saw your porch light on
E        E           A        B7                E         E   A   B7
  This heart hit the sidewalk wondering why you left it on

A(9)    A(9)        B(4)         B(4)
  This heart was stranded in the winter
        E*           E*              A(9)      A(9)
  Was stuck out in a blizzard in its summer clothes
A(9)    A(9)      B(4)       B(4)          E*        E*  E* [stop]
  This heart knows when the love comes and when it goes

E   E   A   B7     E   E   A   B7
[instrumental]

This heart hears the telephone ringing; this heart's gonna let it go
'Cause this heart knows the bells she's hearing aren't the telephone
This heart has heard your laughter; this heart has learned how to smile


This heart'll be a true believer if you'll stay awhile

This heart was stranded in the winter
Was stuck out in a blizzard in its summer clothes
This heart knows when the love comes and when it goes

E   E   A   B7
[instrumental]
E        E           A         B7     E        E           A         B7
  This heart, this heart, this heart;   this heart, this heart, this heart
E   E   A   B7
[instrumental]

This heart was stranded in the winter
Was stuck out in a blizzard in its summer clothes
This heart knows when the love comes and when it goes

This heart was almost taken, and this heart was born feet running
This heart hears a telephone ringing, gonna let it go
This heart, this heart, this heart; this heart, this heart, this heart

E   E   A   B7     E   E   A   B7
[instrumental]
E   E   A   B7     E   E   A   B7     E.
