How red is the blood from a broken heart
          F                                                              C  
How rich is the colour that bleeds
                Am                                                      Gm  
Is it scarlet and bright, a sailor's delight
          F                            Eb                            Bb                         F  
Or heavy  the darkness that snaps at its heels
             F                                                                    Bb         F  
How steady?s the pulse from a broken heart
             F                                                      C  
How certain the rhythm it keeps
                Am                                                            Gm  
Is it even and strong like the strike of a drum
                                F                            Eb                      Bb         F  
Or does it stagger and lurch with every beat
Solo same as a verse
             F                                              Bb                              F  
How deep is the wound I inflicted on you
                     F                                                    C  
And the cut that I gave to myself
          Am                                                            Gm  
How long for to heal, for to scar, for to feel
                     F                      Eb                    Bb                            F  
That my body has mended and returned to health
          F                                                                    Bb                      F  
How soon will my thoughts stop turning to you
                  F                                            C  
At the breaking of every day
        Am                                                      Gm  
Before every road, every place that I go
             F                         Eb                         Bb                              F  
Will no longer whisper, nor cry out your name
                Bb                                    C                    Db                 Dm                                              G  
Ooooh The answers we seek are elusive                     shadows in a cindery night
                Bb                                 Am              A    Dm  
Ooooh Locked up and hidden away
                                                                  Db  
With the heavens and the bookends of time
                Bb                                    C                                 Db            Dm  
Ooooh We know how the heart and its chambers
                                                  G  
Feed the body and keep it alive
             Bb                                                      Dm  
But no one can say why the broken heart aches
          Am                                                                 Gm  
And where it will lead you and I
Ab  
          F                                                            Bb              F  
How red is the blood from a broken heart
             F                                                              C  
How rich is the colour that bleeds
                Am                                                                 Gm  
Is it welcome and warm like the first flush of dawn
                  F                            Eb                         Bb                                 F  
Or as cold as the tears that fall down your cheek
