As a Bbm7girl, I Bbm6lived in Gb/Bba million Bbm6homes

And my lCmessons were lAb/Cearned
From the sCm6tories and Ab/Cpoems
I would stCmeal from a lAb/Cibrary sCm6helf B7  
Yes, the Ebmaj7/Bbbooks like the Roots 
Weren't A7(b5)mine to keep
But the wAb6ords weren't leG7ft behEbm/Gbind F7sus  F7  
And I Bbmaj7/Fthink of them E7(b5)all now when Eb6I can't sD7leep
     Bbm/Dd    C7sus    C7     F9sus  F13(b9)  
And a poet who read my mind 
Verse 1
Cm11As the wise men once wrote 
      F9sus    F7(b9)  Bb69     Eb13    Dm7  G7(b9)  
Never give all the heart 
Well, it's C9suseasy to see 
        F13sus     F7(b9)

                              Cm7F13sus         F13(b9)  
Yes, he scribbled that love isn't worth thinking of 
That is Dmfades out frDm(maj7)om kiss to G9suskiss G9sus  
If I C9susjust learned those lines 
Well, just C9think of the misery ICm7'd miss F13  
Verse 2
F#7As tG7he Cm11Irish men said 
         F9sus        F7(b9)  Bb69     Eb13    Dm7  G7(b9)  
Don't put your heart up to play 
When he C9suswarned of the cost 
        F13sus     F7(b9)
And the heart that he lost 
Mister YDmeats really Dm(maj7)paved the G9susway G9  
For the Cm7men that I've known 
Who have Ebm(maj7)clearly shown 
They've Dmreading him Dm(maj7)from the sG9tart
'Cause when Cm7it comes to me 
Well, their Ab9(b5)kisses come free 
                Cm9     F13(b9)      Ab13  Bb69
But they never give all the heart 
Verse 2

And the heart that he lost 
                 Dm     Dm(maj7)    G9susG9(#11)
Mister Yeats really paved the way 
G7For the Cm7men that I've known 
Who have Ebm(maj7)clearly shown
