Heavy Heart by Love Like Birds
Heavy Heart
Tuning: standard EADGBe
Generally, just play Am - C - Em during verses
Dm - C - Em back to Am furing chorus
Picking follows the same pattern throughout.
Play only strings A and B in fourths (on the beat if you don't know what a fourth is).
Expand from there, playing the D and G strings in gently playful shuffling rhythm.

VERSE:
Am Am C
Run my fingers over the ceiling
Em
I fly, I fly
Am Am C
Make little jumps on the ceiling
Em
I can cause I fly, I fly, fly
(verse follows the same pattern)
Cut their wires, now they’re flying with me
Paper cranes fill the air
Cut my wire, now I’m free and flying
But with the windows closed
I stay inside
Chorus (2x)
Dm Am
Have a heavy heart, it’s bruised
C Em
Doesn’t matter for now
Your sweater full of tears
That’s cause of me
Cause I, I cried so hard
And you held me near
A salty sweater full of tears
Cause I, I cried so hard
And you held me near
With my eyes closed
You didn’t leave
‘Truth doesn’t matter for now
I keep my eyes closed
And you, you didn’t leave
‘Truth doesn’t matter for now
VERSE again
Have a heavy heart, it’s bruised
Doesn’t matter for now
I have a heavy heart, it’s bruised
Doesn’t matter for now
I keep my heart inside a box
Outside of my body
So it doesn’t bother me at all
Doesn’t bother you
Doesn’t bother anyone
But me, but me
I keep my heart inside a box
Outside of my body
So it doesn’t bother me at all
Doesn’t bother you
Doesn’t bother anyone
But me
Run my fingers over the ceiling
I fly, I fly
I lay down on the ceiling
And with my eyes closed
You didn’t leave
