[Verse 1]
C Am
Broke into her house.
F
Saw her sittin’ there,
F
Drinking coke and whiskey
C
in her bra and underwear.
Am
Saw him in the kitchen,
F
hangin’ up the phone.
F
I asked him nicely once
C
to pack his things and go.
Am
He gave her a reassuring look,
F
that said he wouldn’t leave.
F
But I asked him once more time
C
and this time pulled out my shiv.
Am
I struck him in the back
F
and I pulled it out slow,
F
Watched him fall down,
F
And as the morning sun rose,
G
He looked at me and said:
[Chorus]
C
You missed my heart,
Am
you missed my heart.
F
You got me good.
G
I knew you would.
C
But you missed my heart,
Am
you missed my heart.
F
Were his last words,
G
before he died.
[Verse 2]
C Am
Looking out the window,
F
up at the blue sky,
F
Listening to her scream,
C
listening to her cry.
Am
A feeling of relief
F
came over my soul.
F
I couldn’t take it any longer
C
and I lost control.
Am
I chased her up the stairs
F
And I pinned her to the ground,
F
And underneath her whimpering,
C
I could hear the sirens sound.
Am
I rattled off a list,
F
of all the things I missed
F
Like going to the movies with her
C
And the way she kissed me.
Am
Driving into downtown Wheeling
F
and showing her off.
F
Backyard barbecues
C
and reunions in the park.
Am
I said I missed her skin
F
and she started laughing
F
And while I clenched down on her wrist
F
She said “That's quite a list.."
G
“But there’s one thing you missed.\
[Chorus]
C
You missed my heart,
Am
you missed my heart
F
That’s quite a list,
G
but what you really missed,
C
You missed my heart,
Am
you missed my heart
F
That’s quite a list,
G
but what you really missed.”
[Verse 3]
C Am
Running through the parking lots
F
Running through the fields
F
Policemen on my back
C
Something hit my skull and cracked
Am
They dragged me off to jail,
F
set a million dollar bail
F
Where I tried to tie a noose,
C
but I failed and I broke loose
Am
Went racing through the prison yard,
F
Shot down by a tower guard
F
He got me in the shins
C
And he got me in the arms
Am
Strapped me in the gurney
F
Took me off to the infirmary
F
Where the priest read my last rites…
F
And just before,
G
everything went dark, I said:
[Chorus]
C
"You missed my heart,
Am
you missed my heart
F
you got me good,
G
I knew you would.
C
Said you missed my heart,
Am
you missed my heart”
F
And just before,
G
everything went dark,
[Outro]
C Am
The most poetic dream
F
came flowing like the sea
F
Laying there my lifeblood,
C
draining out of me
Am
A childhood scene,
F
night sky moon beams,
F
Fishing with my friends
C
sitting in the wild reeds
Am F
Watching the Ohio river flow at night
F C
Waiting for the bullhead catfishes to bite
Am F G C
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards…
Am F G C
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards…
Am F G C
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards…
Am F G C
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards…
