That's How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart

From the album ”The Forgotten Arm” 2005

Intro: D Em  G

             D        Em       G
I drew a picture of you
             D        Bm       G
You and your anchor tattoo
             D        Bm       G
And saw the face that I knew
                D9   Bm  G6
Covered in shame

You drew a bird that was here
A kind of sweet chanticleer
But with a terrible fear
That the cage couldn't tame

 A                       G                      D    
That's how I knew this story would break my heart
            A
When you wrote it
 A                       G                      D  Em  G
That's how I knew this story would break my heart

So, like a ghost in the snow
I'm getting ready to go
'Cause baby, that's all I know –
How to open the door

And though the exit is crude
It saves me coming unglued
For when you're not in the mood
For the gloves and the canvas floor

That's how I knew this story would break my heart
When you wrote it
That's how I knew this story would break my heart

That's how I knew this story would break my heart
When you wrote it
That's how I knew this story would break my heart
