Billy Ray Cyrus - Words by Heart
Intro: G - D - C
(verse 1)
G D
I was going through the closet, back in my old home,
C D
Found my lettermans jacket, so I slipped it on,
G D
Deep in the pocket, still folded up tight,
C D
Was the letter you wrote, to tell me goodbye,
G D
The minute I saw it, I just had to smile,
C D
It smelled like old leather, as smooth as a child,
G D
I took a deep breath, and put it away,
C D
There was no need to read it, I knew just what it would say,
(chorus)
G D
I know the words by heart, I know every line
C D
From this ain't easy, To you'll get along just fine
G D
I know every comma, every question mark
C D G
No I don't have to look, I know the words by heart
(verse 2)
G D
Scenes like old movies, flash through my head
C D
The homecoming game, the night on my bed
G D
The words that you wrote, still cut me in two
C D
How you said you still cared, but that we were through
(chorus)
I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy, To you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look, I know the words by heart
(bridge)
Em C
Ain't it funny how a memory
G D
Can play tricks on your mind
Em C
I don't remember a thing from my classes
G C D
But I can quote you every line
(verse 3)
G D
I took off my jacket, and put it away
C D
With your note in the pocket, like I found it that day
G D
Poured me a beer, then pictured your face
C D
And drank a silent toast, to things that time can't erase
(chorus)
I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy, To you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look, I know the words by heart
I know the words by heart, I know every line
From this ain't easy, To you'll get along just fine
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look, I know the words by heart
