There are locks on the doors

    Fm                              A#m7     G#     C#
And chains stretched across all the entries to the inside

There's a gate and a fence

    Fm                        A#m7       G#             C#

That no one and nothing can fill

Who stole your heart who took it away

Knowing that without it you can't live
[Chorus] Fm

Who took away the part    so essential to the whole

Left you a hollow body, Skin and bone

What robber    what thief

Fm
   Who stole your heart and the key
Fm [Verse 2]

Who stole your heart

The smile from your face

The innocence the light from your eyes

Who stole your heart or did you give it away

And if so then when and why

Who took away the part    so essential to the whole

What robber    what thief

Was it a trickster using mirrors and sleight of hand

         A#m7   C7                         Fm
A strong elixir or a potion that you drank
[Verse 4]
Fm
Who hurt your heart

Bruised it in a place

     A#m7       G#          C#
That no one and nothing can heal

               A#m7     C7                     Fm
You've gone to wizards, princes and magic men

               A#m7         C7                           Fm
You've gone to witches, the good the bad the indifferent

If you can tear down the walls

Throw your armor away remove all roadblocks barricades

If you can forget there are bandits and dragons to slay

And don't forget that you defend an empty space

And remember the tinman

Remember the tinman

Go find your heart and take it back

One day you will find it I pray
