[intro]
E[VAerEse A1]
Eremember when, we got high Abehind the house
Eby the garage, so the kids Awould not find out
Ethe cats on Prozac, and no Aone seems to care
Ethe party's packed, but you Afeel like no one's there
[Chorus 1]
Eyou were F#born with G#everyAthing you Bneed
Eso wear that F#heart of G#yours on Aboth your Esleeves
[Verse 2]
EA mother's holding a Ababy on a plane
Ethe kid is crying, the Abusiness man complains
EYou hear the whispers, and Asee the eye rolls, too,
Ei guess we all got some Agrowing up to do
[Chorus 2]
Eyou were F#born with G#everyAthing you Bneed
Eso wear that F#heart of G#yours on Aboth your Esleeves
F#they'll get the best and the Eworst of you
F#there'll be some days that you Ecan't get through, oh Aplease
Ewear that F#heart of G#yours on Aboth your Esleeves
[Bridge]
AYou'll give your heart to someone
Ebecause it's yours to give
F#and only when they break it
Ado you realize what ya did
AThere is a sword that's hangin'
Eright above all our heads
F#it is suspended
F#it is suspended
F#it is suspended Aby a spider web
[Verse 3]
ESo check your phone every minute, Afor an hour
EIrish goodbye, the Agreatest superpower
[Chorus 3]
Eyou were F#born with G#everyAthing you Bneed
Eso wear that F#heart of G#yours on Aboth your Esleeves
Eyou have F#got the G#best, and Aworst of Bme
Eso wear that F#heart of G#yours on Aboth your Esleeves
Aboth your Esleeves
Aboth your Esleeves
Aboth your Esleeves
