Heart of the Would Lyrics & Tabs by Patty Griffin
Heart of the Would
guitar chords lyrics
There was a sunset shining on the sea
Everyone was locked inside glued to their tv
'Cause once you've seen a sunset, you have seen them all
And they're never as nice as the ones they sell down at the mall
Oh, the best laid plans are in the heartland
But it is the heart of the wound
But we learn to accept what we will never understand
Oh, heart of the wound
Someone's shooting teenage boys in the light of day
Here in America, a couple of miles away
They say violence is cyclical, things will be okay
More than just a pendulum swinging our way
Oh, the best laid plans are in the heartland
But it is the heart of the wound
But we learn to accept what we will never understand
Oh, the best laid plans are in the heartland
But it is the heart of the wound
But we learn to accept what we will never understand
Oh, heart of the wound
There is blood on the soul never reaching the hand
But as angry men, we've got a right to demand
Love breathing life to a wounded land
Love that will try and leave us wounded again
So come see the sunset sinking in the trees
Come feel the shadow falling over me
Come feel the anger from sea to shining sea
Come see this land that never really was free
Oh, the best laid plans are in the heartland
But it is the heart of the wound
But we learn to accept what we will never understand
Oh, heart of the wound
