[G]

[VERSE 1]

It was a ruby that she wore
On a [Em]chain around her neck
In the [C]shape of a heart [D]
In the [C]shape of a heart [D]
It was a [G]time I won't forget
For the [Em]sorrow and regret
And the [C]shape of a heart [D]
And the [C]shape of a heart [D] [C]

I_[D]_ guess I never [C]knew
What she was [D]talking about [C]
I_[D]_ guess I never [C]knew
What she was [D]living without [G]

[VERSE 3]
People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of [Em]

[VERSE 4]
There's a [G]hole left in the wall
From some [Em]ancient fight
About the [C]size of a fist [D]
Or something [C]thrown that had missed [D]
And there were [G]other holes as well
In the [Em]house where our nights fell
Far too [C]many to re[D]pair
In the [C]time that we were [D]there [G]

[VERSE 5]
People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of [Em]
Reach out to each other through the push and shove [C]
Speak in terms of a [D]life and the learning [C]
Try to think of a [D]word for the burning [G] [Em] [C]

[VERSE 6]
You keep it up [D]
You try so hard [C]
To keep your life from [D]coming apart [C]
And never know [D]

In the shape of a [C]heart [D]
In the shape of a [C]heart [D]

It was the ruby that she wore
On a [Em]stand beside the bed
In the [C]hour before dawn [D]
And then I [C]knew she was gone [D]

For a [Em]little while
And dropped it [C]into the wall [D]
Let it [C]go, heard it fall[D]___[C]_ [D] [C] [D] [C]
