                              D F# G
Sometimes you gotta bleed to know
                              D F# G
That you’re alive and have a soul
                              A7
But it takes someone to come around
             A
To show you how

Chorus:
                      G
She’s the tear in my heart
G
I’m alive
           A          Bm
She’s the tear in my heart
I’m on fire
           A          D
She’s the tear in my heart
         A
Take me higher
                D F# G
Than I’ve ever been

                             D F# G
The songs on the radio are okay
                               D F# G
But my taste in music is your face
                             A7
And it takes a song to come around
             A
To show you how

Chorus:
                      G
She's the tear in my heart
I'm alive

She’s the tear in my heart
 Bm
I’m on fire

Than I’ve ever been
          A    Bm
Than I’ve ever been

Than I’ve ever been

D                          A D         F#  G   D      A D

D        F#         G  D                     A   D
You fell asleep in my car I drove the whole time
D          F#          G    D                            A  D
But that’s okay I’ll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine
D           F#      G
I’m driving here I sit
D                 A   D
Cursing my government
D         F#      G    D                          A  D
For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement
D        F#         G  D                     A    D
You fell asleep in my car I drove the whole time
D          F#         G     D                         A   D
But that’s okay I’ll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine
D           F#      G  D
I’m driving here I sit
D                 D
Cursing my government
A7        A                                          D F# G
For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement

That you’re alive and have a soul, oh, oh
                              A7
But it takes someone to come around
             A
To show you how

Chorus:
                      G
She’s the tear in my heart
I’m alive

She’s the tear in my heart
I’m on fire
           A          D

G
My heart is my armour
           A          Bm
She’s the tear in my heart
She’s a carver
         A               D
She’s a butcher with a smile
       A
Cut me farther
                G
Than I’ve ever been
          A     Bm
Than I’ve ever been
          A     D     A
Than I’ve ever been

Than I’ve ever been
G
My heart is my armour
           A          Bm
She’s the tear in my heart
She’s a carver
         A               D
She’s a butcher with a smile
        A
Cut me farther
                   D
Than I’ve ever been
