  			Verse: 1 
            D 
If I had a borrowed heart 
             Bm 
I could just give it back 
          G                D 
When the party's over I'd set it down 
         A 
Like an empty champagne glass 
              Bm             G        D 
I could just walk away, no questions asked 
            G         D 
If I had a borrowed heart 
              A       D 
I could just give it back 


Verse: 2 
             D 
If I had a store-bought heart 
                Bm 
I could just throw it away 
         G                         D 
Like carnations in the kitchen, nobody's gonna miss them 
              A 
When there's nothing in the vase 
             Bm 
Wouldn't be hard to let go 
                G          D 
'Cause it'd be easy to replace 
             G            D 
If I had a store-bought heart 
                A       D 
I could just throw it away 



    G                      D 
So don't you take it for granted 
     G                         D 
And don't you leave it in the rain 
       Bm 
Don't race it down straight away 
Bm 
Almost never hit the brakes 
  G 
Wreck it on the side of the road 
         D                            A           D 
It's the only one I've got, it's the only one I own 


verse 3 
             D 
If I had a drunken heart 
     Bm 
I'd feel no pain 
      G                           D 
Make sure it's never sober, just barely hungover 
        A 
So it stays that way 
             Bm 
And when the morning comes 
             G          D 
Wouldn't remember your name 
             G       D 
If I had a drunken heart 
     A       D 
I'd feel no pain 



    G                      D 
So don't you take it for granted 
     G                         D 
And don't you leave it in the rain 
       Bm 
Don't race it down straight away 
Bm 
Almost never hit the brakes 
  G 
Wreck it on the side of the road 
         D                            A           D 
It's the only one I've got, it's the only one I own 

D G D G   D   A 
    Yeeeeeah, oh 


Outro 
         D 
So if I give you my heart 
          Bm 
Will you know what you have 
           G 
It ain't drunk, it ain't borrowed 
        D 
Be the same one tomorrow 
            A                    D 
Ain't some empty champagne glass
