Tortured, Tangled Hearts - Dixie Chicks
Album: Home
Writers: Natalie Maines/Martie Maguire/Marty Stuart


Intro:  E7

E7
Well there was a little falter at the altar of confession
E                       D A       E
Down on its knees true lo-ve did fall
     E7
After 31 days of sleepless nights, she woke up to end it all
     A                 E7             B               E
With "I love you" on a fresh tattoo engraved upon his chest
   C#m       E          B       E
She tore her name right off his heart
   G         A     E
So here's to the unblessed


Chorus:
   A        E        B       E
Oh love, oh love you fickle thing
     A      E         B      E
Such pretty words and golden rings
        C#m                 B        E
It was a broken dream right from the start
A           E         B        E
Bless their tortured, tangled hearts


G    A         E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
G         A         E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Instrumental: E7   then  G  A  E (x4)


E7
Well a blast of confusion coupled with delusion
E                                 D  A  E
Makes the best made plans sometimes fail
E7
They wined and they dined had peace of mind, she bought a gown and he rented tails
        A               E7            B                    E
But the mighty cloud of destiny came driftin' through the gates
   C#m    E        B          E
And busted up what could have been
  G       A        E
A perfect hopeless case


CHORUS (twice)


G    A         E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
G         A         E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
G    A         E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
G         A         E
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
