Phoebe Bridgers – You Missed My Heart (Guitar)

C             Am
Broke into her house.

                 F
Saw her sittin’ there,

                  F
Drinking coke and whiskey

                     C
in her bra and underwear.

               Am
Saw him in the kitchen,

                F
hangin’ up the phone.

                   F
I asked him nicely once

                        C
to pack his things and go.

                         Am
He gave her a reassuring look,

                       F
that said he wouldn’t leave.

                     F
But I asked him once more time

                             C
and this time pulled out my shiv.

                    Am
I struck him in the back

                     F
and I pulled it out slow,

                 F
Watched him fall down,

                       F
And as the morning sun rose,

             G
He looked at me and said:

               C
You missed my heart,

               Am
you missed my heart.

           F
You got me good.

            G
I knew you would.

                  C
But you missed my heart,

               Am
you missed my heart.

              F
Were his last words,

           G
before he died.

C                Am
Looking out the window,

                F
up at the blue sky,

                 F
Listening to her scream,

                  C
listening to her cry.

             Am
A feeling of relief

              F
came over my soul.

                       F
I couldn’t take it any longer

            C
and I lost control.

                    Am
I chased her up the stairs

                        F
And I pinned her to the ground,

                        F
And underneath her whimpering,

                        C
I could hear the sirens sound.

                Am
I rattled off a list,

                     F
of all the things I missed

                             F
Like going to the movies with her

                       C
And the way she kissed me.

             Am
Driving into downtown Wheeling

                 F
and showing her off.

              F
Backyard barbecues

                     C
and reunions in the park.

                   Am
I said I missed her skin

                 F
and she started laughing

                                 F
And while I clenched down on her wrist

                         F
She said “That's quite a list.."

                           G
“But there’s one thing you missed.\

              C
You missed my heart,

               Am
you missed my heart

               F
That’s quite a list,

                     G
but what you really missed,

              C
You missed my heart,

               Am
you missed my heart

               F
That’s quite a list,

                     G
but what you really missed.”

C                    Am
Running through the parking lots

                    F
Running through the fields

                F
Policemen on my back

                           C
Something hit my skull and cracked

                       Am
They dragged me off to jail,

                      F
set a million dollar bail

                       F
Where I tried to tie a noose,

                          C
but I failed and I broke loose

                               Am
Went racing through the prison yard,

                     F
Shot down by a tower guard

                 F
He got me in the shins

                     C
And he got me in the arms

                   Am
Strapped me in the gurney

                      F
Took me off to the infirmary

                              F
Where the priest read my last rites…

              F
And just before,

                G
everything went dark, I said:

              C
"You missed my heart,

              Am
you missed my heart

           F
you got me good,

           G
I knew you would.

                   C
Said you missed my heart,

              Am
you missed my heart”

         F
And just before,

                G
everything went dark,

C                Am
The most poetic dream

                       F
came flowing like the sea

                F
Laying there my lifeblood,

                C
draining out of me

            Am
A childhood scene,

               F
night sky moon beams,

                F
Fishing with my friends

                     C
sitting in the wild reeds

             Am                   F
Watching the Ohio river flow at night

                F                     C
Waiting for the bullhead catfishes to bite

                   Am                 F           G  C
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards…

                   Am                 F           G  C
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards…

                   Am                 F           G  C
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards…

                   Am                 F           G  C
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards…
