My Heart was the Last One to Know
From the album Feeling Mortal
[Intro]
F Em Dm C
[Verse 1]
C F C
Taking time, you got by these defenses of mine
G
Though I tried not to let you slip through
C F C
And when you worked your way to the back of my mind
G C
It was too late to stop loving you
[Chorus]
F C
For my eyes grew accustomed to looking at you
D G
And my arms found a body they hungered to hold
C F C
And the rest of my senses surrendered to you
G C
But my heart was the last one to know
[Interlude]
A
[Verse 2]
D G D
Then my eyes saw the warnings they couldn't believe
A
And my lips felt your kiss growing cold
D G D
And my ears heard the stories but kept them from me
A D
So my heart was the last one to know
[Chorus]
G D
Now my eyes finally learned to stop looking for you
E A
And my arms slowly turned to another to hold
D G D
They could sense you were something too good to be true
A D
But my heart was the last one to know
[Coda]
A G D
Yes, the heart is last one to know
