[Intro] E [Verse]
E                                   F#m
It's the search for a church in the bottom of your purse

  F#maj7                 A
A spiritual home you can take to the mall

    E                           F#m
You dig and you dig but you can only find your wallet

         G#m          F#m            A
And your phone with a hundred missed calls

          C#m   F#maj7      A
You could never return them all
E [Verse]
E                                        F#m
And I watch you with your purse from the adjacent coffee table

       F#maj7                         A
At the Starbucks they built inside my heart

         E                              F#m
And your make-up starts to run, you can see you're getting older

        G#m      F#m           A
You can see your life has been hard

             C#m          F#maj7      A
Your face is worn like an old playing card

             E
The Queen of Hearts

             F#m       A
The Queen of Hearts
E [Verse]
E                               F#m
I am working in my bedroom, I'm composing all the music

      F#maj7                  A
For a film that will never be made

E                                F#m
It's the story of my life, a one million hour epic

        G#m          F#m          A
About a good man who went down in flames

        C#m           F#maj7       A
Who got lost in God's multitude of names

    E
Ahhhhhhhh
[Verse]
E                                   F#m
I am searching, I am searching I am waving my antenna

          F#maj7                         A
Trying to pick up some signal through this dream

E                          F#m
I'm an ant in a hill but I think and I feel

        G#m                  F#m            A
And I'm composing these love letters to the queen

       C#m           F#maj7     A
Hoping somebody will see what I mean

             E
The Queen of Hearts

             F#m       A
The Queen of Hearts

    E        F#m       A
The Queen of Hearts
E [Verse]
E                               F#m
I always heard about God with a wink and a nod

          F#maj7                 A
I guess I took it all too seriously

          E                    F#m
But I was five years old and I took what I was told

   G#m              F#m            A
To mean that the sublime was in my reach

         C#m          F#maj7            A
That the ocean of the known ends at the beach

            E
Just up the street
[Verse]
E                                  F#m
These days people like that are considered aberrations

        F#maj7                A
And I'm being corrected as we speak

           E                            F#m
This is my heart, it's a motor, it will search the world over

      G#m         F#m           A
I'm a search engine, see what I mean?

        C#m           F#maj7            A
I don't need the Internet, I don't need TV

       E
To find the queen

             F#m        A 
The Queen of Hearts

    E        F#m       A
The Queen
[Verse]
          E                          F#m 
So if you ever find that church that fits in your purse

       F#maj7                        A
Put it into your cold metal shopping cart

            E                           F#m
And keep on wandering the aisles on the sick fluorescent tiles

         G#m       F#m     A
We'll be miles and miles apart

            C#m             F#maj7            A
I've got my own search, I'm still just at the start

        C#m        F#maj7           E      F#maj7
I'll be out on the highways looking for my counterpart

    E        F#m      A
The Queen of Hearts

E                   F#m               A
Oooohhhhhhh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
E F#m A
