Mark Kozelek – You Missed My Heart Acoustic chords

[Verse]
D             D/C#Broke into her house.
                 D/B Saw her sittin’ there,
                  GDrinking coke and whiskey
                     D in her bra and underwear.
               D/C#Saw him in the kitchen,
                D/B hangin’ up the phone.
                   GI asked him nicely please
                        D to pack his things and go.
                         D/C#He gave her a reassuring look,
                       D/B that said he wouldn’t leave.
                     GBut I asked him one more time
                             D and this time pulled out my shiv.
                    D/C#I struck him in the back
                     D/B and I pulled it out slow,
                   GWatched him fall down,
                       GAnd as the morning sun rose,
               Asus4He looked at me and said:

[Chorus]
               D“You missed my heart,
               Bm you missed my heart.
           GYou got me good.
            A I knew you would.
                  DBut you missed my heart,
               Bm you missed my heart.”

[Verse]
              GWere his last words,
           Asus4 before he died.
D             D/C#Looking out the window,
                D/B up at the blue sky,
                 GListening to her scream,
                  D listening to her cry.
             D/C#A feeling of relief
              D/B came over my soul.
                       GI couldn’t take it any longer
                    D and I lost control.
                    D/C#I chased her up the stairs
                        D/BAnd I pinned her to the ground,
                        GAnd underneath her whimpering,
                        DI could hear the sirens sound.
                D/C#I rattled off a list,
                 Bm of everything I missed
                              GLike going to the movies with her
                           DAnd the way she kissed me.
             D/C#Driving into downtown Wheeling
                 D/B and showing her off.
              GBackyard barbecues
                     D and reunions in the park.
                   D/C#I said I loved her skin
                 D/B and she started laughing
                                 GAnd while I clenched down on her wrist
                         GShe said “That's quite a list.."
                           A“But there’s one thing you missed.

[Chorus]
               D“You missed my heart,
               Bm you missed my heart.
           GThat's quite a list
            A But what you really missed
                  DBut you missed my heart,
               Bm you missed my heart.”

[Verse]
               GThat’s quite a list,
                     A but what you really missed.”
D                    D/C#Running through the parking lots
                    D/BRunning through the fields
                GPolicemen on my back
                           DSomething hit my skull and cracked
                       D/C#They dragged me off to jail,
                      D/B set a million dollar bail
                       GWhere I tried to tie a noose,
                          D but I failed and I broke loose
                               D/C#Went racing through the prison yard,
                     D/BShot down by a tower guard
                 GHe got me in the shins
                     DAnd he got me in the arms
                   D/C#Strapped me in the gurney
                   D/BTook me off to the infirmary
                              GWhere the priest read my last rites…
             G                    AAnd just before,everything went dark, I said:

[Chorus]
              D“He missed my heart,
              D/C# he missed my heart
          G                   AJust before,  my world went dark,
                  DSaid he missed my heart,
               D/C# he missed my heart”
             G                 AAnd just before,everything went dark,

[Outro]
D               D/C#The most poetic dream
                        D/B came flowing like the sea
                GLay in there my life,
                     D but draining out of me
            D/C#A childhood scene then,
          D/B sky moon beams,
                GFishing with my friends
                     D sitting in the wild lands
             D/C#            D/BWatching the Ohio river flow at night
G                                     DWaiting for the bullhead catfishes to bite
                   D/C#                         D/B            GDownriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards…
D               D/C#                           D/B            GDownriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards…
D               D/C#                           D/B            GDownriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards...
