Misc Musicals – The Art Of Pleasing Princes - Hearts Blood (Guitar)

             Gm         D
I'd lie with anyone who wanted some

D7
Leather and satin, clandestine places

     Gm                 D
More lovers at once was just more fun

     D7
More curses and praises, more corsets and laces

           Eb
But they’d always leave with the morning sun

  D5                      D7
Cologne or stray stocking their only traces

      Eb
I'd remember their hands once our time was done

D5                   D7
Beautiful hands, but never their faces

              Bb
It's been two weeks since I last flirted

           D7
Or threw a party not for two

       Eb
When I try to make advances

          Ebm
I keep forgetting what to do

             Bb
I could have anyone I wanted

             D7
I mean, it's not like they'd refuse

         Eb
But what scares me most is I don't want them

             Ebm
I don’t want anyone but you

     Bb
Your face, your eyes, they're written on my fingertips

     F           D7
Your hands, your lips, my beautiful apocalypse

     Gm              Eb/G                      Gm
If I asked you to be mine, would our purposes align?

    F
The blood of my heart, Louis

               Bb
Beats only for you

        Bb
And I'm worried when I touch you

       D7
I hurt everything I love

         Eb
It could all be in my head or

          Ebm
Something rancid in my blood

      Bb
And I don't know moderation

          D7
Each lost moment is a theft

         Eb
In a few years of fascination

              Ebm
Will there be any of you left?

         Bb
But your face, your eyes, even at night I can't escape

     D                   D/G      D
Your hands, your lips contentment takes a smaller shape

           Gm              Eb/G         Gm             Eb
Your voice shimmers and disarms I could settle in your arms

    F
The blood of my heart, Louis

               Bb  Bb/D Bb
Beats only for you

    Eb5
And maybe this is stupid

         E5                             D5  Bb5 Gb5
And your love could just become another scar

         Eb5
But I've bled for lesser causes

         E5                   D5  Bb5 Gb5
Than whatever holy remedy you are

           Eb5
If there's anyone to fix me

           Ebm                      Dm             D7
You're the one who'd keep me moving t'wards the li-ght

          Gm
If it was you I gave the power

A5 Bb5   N.C.                    A5
I  think giving up control would be alright

               Eb      F5
What felt like chains around my neck

    Eb5                 D5
Now feels like sweet security

         Eb5       F5
If I was yours I'd be content

     Bb5        D5
With safety and obscurity

                      Eb/G
And it all just makes sense

    F/A                     Bb   D7 Db5 B5 A5
You know? It all just makes sense

       D5
If you felt my heartbeat quicken

            Gb5
Would yours make the same reply?

       G
Just because I might still fuck it up

        Gm
Doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try

          D5
You won't know unless I tell you

      Gb5
But I know what you will say:

         G
You feel burning, clawed, and drowning

      Gm
And I feel the same way

             D/F#
Because your face, your eyes, are all I need and more

     Gb
Your hands, your lips are what I was looking for

           B5            G
Trapped by you I feel so free

      A5     D5
Yours is the only face I see
