C C/B Am7
C/F
[Verse 1]
C Broke into her house,C/B saw her sitting there Am7
Drinking coke and whiC/Fskey in her bra and underwear
C Saw him in the kiC/Btchen, hanging up the phone Am7
I asked him nicely onceC/F to pack his things and go
[Verse 2]
C He gave her a reassuring C/Blook, said he wouldn't leave Am7
But I asked him one more time,C/F this time pulled out my shiv
C Struck him in the backC/B and I pulled it out slow
Am7 And I watched him fall down,C/F and as the morning sun rose
He looked at me,G he said
[Chorus]
You missed my heart,C you missed my Am7heart
You got me good,C/F I knew you would G
But you missed my Cheart, you missed my Am7heart
Were his last C/Fwords before he Gdied
[Verse 3]
C Looking out the winC/Bdow, up at the blue Am7sky
Listening to her scream,C/F listening to her cry
C A feeling of reliefC/B came over my Am7soul
I couldn't take it any lonC/Fger and I lost control
[Verse 4]
C I chased her up the C/Bstairs and I pinned her to the ground Am7
And underneath her whimC/Fpering I could hear the sirens sound
C I rattled off a listC/B of all the things I Am7missed
Like going to the moC/Fvies with her and the way she kissedC me
[Verse 5]
Driving into downC/Btown Wheeling, showing her off
Am7 Backyard barbecuesC/F and reunions in the park
C I said I missed her C/Bskin when she started laughing
Am7 While I clenched down on her wrist,C/F she said that's quite a list
But there's one thing you missed
[Chorus]
G You missed my Cheart, you missed my Am7heart
That's quite a list,C/F but what you really missed
G You missed my heart,C you missed my Am7heart
That's quite a list,C/F but what you really missed G
[Verse 6]
C Running through the parC/Bking lot, running through the fields Am7
Policemen on my C/Fback, something hit my skull and cracked
C They dragged me off to jail,C/B set a million dollar bail Am7
Where I tried to tie a noose,C/F but I failed and I broke loose
[Verse 7]
C I went racing through the priC/Bson yard, shot down by a toAm7wer guard
He got me in the shins,C/F and he got me in the arms
C They strapped me in the gurC/Bney, took me off to the infirAm7mary
Where the priest read my last C/Frites
And just before, everything went dark G
I said: He missed my Cheart, he missed my Am7heart
[Chorus]
He got me good,C/F I knew he Gwould
But he missed myC heart, he missed my Am7heart
And just before,C/F everything went dark G
[Verse 8]
C The most poetic dreamC/B came flowing like the sea Am7
Laying there my C/Flifeblood draining out of me
C A childhood sceneC/B night sky moon beams
Am7 Fishing with my C/Ffriends sitting in the wild reeds
[Verse 9]
C Watching the OhiC/Bo river flow at night
Am7 Waiting for the bullC/Fheaded catfishes to bite
C Downriver from the MoundsC/Bville prison graveyard Am7 C/F

Am7 C/F C Downriver from the MoundsC/Bville prison graveyard
Am7 C/F C Downriver from the MoundsC/Bville prison graveyard
Am7 C/F C Downriver from the MoundsC/Bville prison graveyard Am7 C/F
