verse 1 
            Am            G             C     G 
When this started I was living like an animal 
       F             C     G 
And I didn't have a hope in hell 
          Am            G             C            G 
I searched for signs on every channel I could find 
         F                C      G 
Just to see if there was someone else 
          Am              G               C          G 
And in you came as I was tearing all the ribbon down 
          F              C     G 
Yes it's funny what you don't forget 
        Am     G                C      G 
We spent days watching all the buffalo 
 F           C       G 
Wondering if they felt the same things 


 F         C               Am 
Now I can see that you're torn 
         G          F 
But I'm only asking you 
       C           Am        G            Dm 
To be kind and be bold and show a little heart

verse 2 
      Am              G            C          G 
In the yard, we were sitting in a rowing boat 
          F              C   G 
We were drinking all the wine we had 
      Am           G                 C                G 
And making plans, we could sell the television rights 
      F              C          G 
Then we could buy a bigger boat 


 F            C          Am             G 
Now that I'm out in the cold and you're on the inside 
  F          C          Am 
Tearing the paintings apart 
           G 
You could show a little heart

To be kind and be bold and show a little heart

             Am            G            C      G

And I didn't have a hope in hell
