If A Heart Could Tell (Nudie and the Turks)
intro: C F C G C
C
If a heart could tell the difference
F C
between a heart that was brand new, and one that had been around,
G
the other battered, broken, and bruised.
C F
Then a heart would surely run, before it took a chance and fell
C G C C
but it can’t so it will, a heart can’t tell.
C
If an ear could hear the difference, between
F C
lips that were tellin’ lies, and lips that told it straight
G
There would be a lot less people crying.
C F
Then a mark surely turn and run, before he let the slips get near.
C G C
We believe what we want- to — because an ear can’t hear.
chorus:
G C
If a heart could tell, - - and an ear could hear.
D G G
That would take away all of the fun, we would surely disappear.
C
They say the heart is the muscle of love.
F C
It’s got to work hard every day, build it up; tear it down,
G
though it’s stronger for the pain.
C F
If we merely played it safe, we could tell it what to do.
C G C
Then a heart would be a stone, there would be no more me and you.
