A
A/G F G A
She had the summer's smile with winter skin; she moved
A/G F
A silhouette to serenade the soul
G F C Em E F
She spoke with words beyond me and slowly I pulled away
C E F C E
To receive a gesture implying an answer I didn't have
G F
So I then smiled
C E
Responding, alarming
A
"Yes"
A/G F G A
Her hands were the first I'd ever felt; she breathed
A/G F G F
Her lips hid her tongue from the world; she danced
C E
To the doors, endearing, she carried me
F C E
"What's your name?" conceding "Ms. Leading"
F
She kindly suggests
C E
To her room
F
To rest my head
C F
So I responded, unalarming
Dm Am
Where's her heart, where's her heart?
Dm Am/E
Mimicking the matriarch
F F/G C
He's naive; blissfully
F E
Ignorant and trusting but...
Dm Am
Where's her heart, where's her heart?
Dm Am/E
Mimicking the matriarch
F F/G C
He's naive; blissfully
F E Am
Ignorant and trusting but now

The prejudice and the guilty
