Fm There are locks on the doors And chains stretched across A#m G# C# All the entries to the inside Fm There's a gate and a fence And bars to protect A#m G# C# From only God knows what lurks outside Fm Who stole your heart? Left you with a space A#m G# C# That no one and nothing can fill Fm Who stole your heart? Who took it away? A#m G# C# Knowing that without it you can't live Chorus: A#m Who took away the part C7 So essential to the whole? Fm Left you a hollow body Skin and bone A#m What robber? C7 What thief? Fm Who stole your heart? And the key? 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? Chorus: Who took away the part So essential to the whole? Left you a hollow body Skin and bone What robber? What thief? Who stole your heart? And the key? Now all sentiment is gone Now you have no trust in no one Who stole your heart? Did you know but forget The method and moment in time? Chorus: Was it a trickster Using mirrors and sleight of hand? A strong elixir Or a potion that you drank? Who hurt your heart? Bruised it in a place That no one and nothing can heal Chorus: You've gone to wizards Princes and magic men You've gone to witches The good, the bad, the indifferent But still all sentiment is gone But still you have no trust in no one 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 Chorus: And remember the Tin Man Found he had what he thought he lacked Remember the Tin Man Go find your heart and take it back Who stole your heart Maybe no one can say One day you will find it I pray You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#m  C#  C7  Fm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
