HEART-SHAPED TATTOO
 by James Hill

[INTRO]
G C
G D7 G

[VERSE]
             G
If there's a tear on your 
              C
pretty little cheek
    G                     D7
And clouds over the ocean wide
           G
If there's eight words for snow
    C
and sixteen for rain
     G          D7         G
Then why are my lips still dry?
C   G          D7         G
Oh, why are my lips still dry?

[VERSE]
             G             C
If there's a light in your window
      G             D7
And a flame in your heart
           G
If there's stars up there 
       C
in the prairie sky tonight
     G        D7           G
Then why am I still in the dark?
C   G        D7           G
Oh, why am I still in the dark?

[CHORUS]
       D                    G
In the dark it's easy to mistake
C                          D7
Love for a heart-shaped tattoo
   G                      Em
If only it were half that easy
   C       D7          G
To feel my way back to you
Em     C       D7          G
Oh, to feel my way back to you

[INTERLUDE]
G C G D7
G C G D7 G

[VERSE]
            G              
If there's a blanket of light 
       C
on the river
        G                 D7
And the hills are bathing in gold
       G
If the land is covered 
   C
in cotton and down
     G        D7           G
Then why am I still in the cold?
C   G        D7           G
Oh, why am I still in the cold?

[VERSE]
        G             C
I see a light in your window
        G              D7
I feel a flame in your heart
    G
I'm lookin' up tonight 
    C
and I see stars
             G       D7
And I wonder why I'm still 
       G
in the dark
C            G        D7
Oh, I wonder why am I still 
       G
in the dark?

[DOUBLE CHORUS]
       D                    G
In the dark it's easy to mistake
C                          D7
Love for a heart-shaped tattoo
   G                      Em
If only it were half that easy
   C       D7          G
To feel my way back to you
Em     C       D7          G
Oh, to feel my way back to you

       D                    G
In the dark it's easy to mistake
C                          D7
Love for a heart-shaped tattoo
   G                      Em
If only it were half that easy
   C       D7          G
To feel my way back to you
Em     C       D7          G
Oh, to feel my way back to you

[CODA]
Em     C         
Oh, to feel my way 
D7      G  C G C G D7 G
back to you
