Dropkick Murphys – Upstarts And Broken Hearts (Guitar)

 C                      F           C
I once met a young girl filled with fire,

     C                            G          C
That saw through my front to this shell of a man

    C                     F        C
She knew I'd be a handful from the start,

     C                          G      C
This strong willed woman had an angels heart

    C                          F           C
The holes in these wings don't allow me to fly

         C                  G       C
So you'd better brace for a life of pain,

       C                        F      C
And if fate is the path to this better life

    C                               G     C
Somehow I feel you'll never see the faces change

F
Through thick and thin,

             G
She stood by you

                              C    G C
She held the key to my broken heart

  C                    F       C
I look back and wonder sit and ponder.

    C                    G      C
How I could have ever neglected you.

        C                        F        C
For the blood soaked soil on the old ball field,

  C                          G        C
I gambled on a hand I wasn't ready to lose

           C                        F         C
But if the tables were turned and I faced the troubles,

      C                     G       C
Tough times and struggles I put you through

       C                              F            C
I'd of been there as you were through hardship and horror

   C                    G          C
My life and my love are pledged to you.

F
Through thick and thin,

             G
She stood by you

                              C    G C G C
She held the key to my broken heart

   F         C          G          Am
Remember the nights she waited and wondered,

F          C                G
fused to a myth that it had taken it's toll.

         F       C       G      Am
But this Godless man has mended his way,

Dm                   G   C
Never again will she be alone.

    C                      F      C
I remember it well still I always knew

     C                   G     C
that she was destined to be my bride

     C                       F       C
This woman had pride she was full of life.

        C               G      C
I could see the passion in her eyes.

     C                              F            C
She thought she found a man but she fell for the devil

   C            G     C
An evil monster in disguise.

         C                 F    C
Now I'll honor and obey forever stay.

C               G     C
True to you, my Irish rose

F
Through thick and thin,

             G
She stood by you

                              C    G C G C G C G C
She held the key to my broken heart
