[Verse]
Bm             D
Broke into her house.

                 G
 Saw her sittin’ there,

                  Bm
Drinking coke and whiskey

                     D
 in her bra and underwear.

               G
Saw him in the kitchen, 

                Bm
 hangin’ up the phone.

                   D
I asked him nicely please

                        G
 to pack his things and go.

                         Bm
He gave her a reassuring look,

                       D
 that said he wouldn’t leave.

                     G
But I asked him once again

                             Bm
 and this time pulled out my shiv.

                    D
I struck him in the back

                     G
 and I pulled it out slow,

                 Bm
Watched him fall down,

                       D
And as the morning sun rose,

                    G
He looked at me and said:
[Chorus]
               Bm
“You missed my heart, 

               D
 you missed my heart.

           G
You got me good.

            Bm
 I knew you would.

                  D
But you missed my heart,

               G
 you missed my heart.”
[Verse]
              Bm
Were his last words, 

           D
 before he died.

                G
Looking out the window, 

                Bm
 up at the blue sky,

                 D
Listening to her scream,

                  G
 listening to her cry.

             Bm
A feeling of relief 

              D
 came over my soul.

                       G
I couldn’t take it any longer

            Bm
 and I lost control.

                    D
I chased her up the stairs

                        G
And I pinned her to the ground,

                        Bm
And underneath her whimpering,

                        D
I could hear the sirens sound.

                G
I rattled off a list,

                 Bm
 of everything I missed

                              D
Like going to the movies with her

                       G
And the way she kissed me.

             Bm
Driving into Wheeling

                 D
 and showing her off.

              G
Backyard barbecues

                     Bm
 and reunions in the park.

                   D
I said I loved her skin

                 G
 and she started laughing

                                 Bm
And while I clenched down on her wrist

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

                           G
“But there’s one thing you missed.
[Chorus]
              Bm
You missed my heart,

               D
 you missed my heart

               G
That’s quite a list, 

                     Bm
 but what you really missed,

              D
You missed my heart,

               G
 you missed my heart
[Verse]
               Bm
That’s quite a list,

                     D
 but what you really missed.”

                            G
Running through the parking lots

                    Bm
Running through the fields

                D
Policemen on my back

                           G
Something hit my skull and cracked

                       Bm
They dragged me off to jail,

                      D
 set a million dollar bail

                       G
Where I tried to tie a noose,

                          Bm
 but I failed and I broke loose

                               D
Went racing through the prison yard,

                     G
Shot down by a tower guard

                 Bm
He got me in the shins

                     D
And he got me in the arms

                   G
Strapped me in the gurney

                   Bm
Took me to the infirmary

                              D
Where the priest read my last rites…

                                 G
And just before,everything went dark, I said:
[Chorus]
              Bm
“He missed my heart, 

              D
 he missed my heart

                            G
Just before,  my world went dark,

                  Bm
Said he missed my heart,

               D
 he missed my heart”

                                G
And just before,everything went dark,
[Outro]
                Bm
The most poetic dream

                       D
 came flowing like the sea

                G
Lay in there my life,

                     Bm
 but draining out of me

            D
A childhood scene then,

          G
 sky moon beams,

                Bm
Fishing with my friends

                     D
 sitting in the wild lands

                                G
Watching the Ohio river flow at night

                                      Bm
Waiting for the bullhead catfishes to bite

                                      D
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards…

                                      G
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards…

                                      Bm            D      G
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards...
