Happens To The Heart

Leonard Cohen

Ton : AEnglish
Intro : Dm Bb Bb/G A7 
I was alDmways working steady
But I neBbver called it art
I Bb/Ggot my shit together
Meeting ChrA7ist and reading Marx
It faiDmled my little fire
But it's brBbight the dying spark
Go tBb/Gell the young messiah
WhA7at happens to the heart
Dm | Bb | Bb/G | A7 
There's a mDmist of summer kisses
Where I trBbied to double-park
The riBb/Gvalry was vicious
The woA7men were in charge
It was notDmhing it was business
But it leBbft an ugly mark
I've cBb/Gome here to revisit
WhA7at happens to the heart
Dm | Bb | Bb/G | A7 
I was selDmling holy trinkets
I was dreBbssing kind of sharp
Had a puBb/Gssy in the kitchen
And a panA7ther in the yard
In the priDmson of the gifted
I was friBbendly with the guards
So I neBb/Gver had to witness
WA7hat happens to the heBbart
Bb/G | F | A7 
I shDmould have seen it coming
After aBbll I knew the chart
Just to lBb/Gook at her was trouble
It was troA7uble from the start
Sure we plDmayed a stunning couple
But I neBbver liked the part
It ain't prBb/Getty it ain't subtle
WhA7at happens to the heart
Dm | Bb | Bb/G | A7 
Now the anDmgel's got a fiddle
The deBbvil's got a harp
Every sBb/Goul is like a minnow
Every miA7nd is like a shark
I've brDmoken every window
But the hoBbuse the house is dark
I cBb/Gare but very little
WhA7at happens to the heart
Dm | Bb | Bb/G | A7 
Then I stuDmdied with this beggar
He was fiBblthy he was scarred
By the clBb/Gaws of many women
He had faiA7led to disregard
No faDmble here no lesson
No sinBbging meadowlark
Just a fiBb/Glthy beggar guessing
WhA7at happens to the heBbart
Bb/G | F | A7 
I was alDmways working steady
But I neBbver called it art
It was juBb/Gst some old convention
Like the hoA7rse before the cart
I hDmad no trouble betting
On the flBbood against the ark
You see I kBb/Gnew about the ending
WhA7at happens tDmo the heart
Dm | Bb | Bb/G | A7 
I was haDmndy with a rifle
My fatBbher's .303
I foBb/Gught for something final
Not the riA7ght to disagree
