[Chorus]
    E
My human heart
                  B
Only got a human heart
                  A
I wish it didn't run away

I wish it didn't fall apart
D             E
Oh my human heart
                 B
Night and day, light and dark
                  A
Any day could be torn in half
            E
Only got a human heart

Girls, can make believe

Thought I could pretend
