Heart of My Own by Basia Bulat
Standard tuning
Capo 3rd
Note: My first tab so any mistakes just leave comment. Also, the lyrics are still
a mystery to me so don't know if they're right. Have no idea what she says 9th line in chorus.
Intro: Em Bm C Am Em
Verse:
[Em]Under that burning [Bm]ether that falls
[C]down on these walls [G]burning my arms
I'[D]ve been alarmed when I sat [Em]by you
For every word [Bm]I could undo
I[C]'ve been uncrossed and [G]I've been untrue
I[D]'ve been the thorn I've been the h[Em]eart
Chorus:
[Em]The heart of my own
burn it down low
the light in your v[C]erse
and the shadow be[G]tween
the way that I w[D]as when I used to k[Em]now
if I go what do I hope
For the ma[C]id or the mother I'll [G]be
If only the l[D]oom and a thread would h[Em]old
It is w[C]ork to be ? out h[G]ere
Tomorrow I'm m[D]ending the empty b[Em]ones
There are r[C]oses that come without s[G]eeking
They are the o[D]nes that I have to [Em]sow
In your ve[C]rses that I am re[G]peating
The way that I w[D]as when I used to k[Em]now

[Em] [Bm] [C] [G] [D] [Em]
Breakdown:
[C]I wrote on [D]these walls a [G]simple [Em]charm
To [Am]keep the wolves at [C]bay
Gave of a he[D]art the s[G]trength of m[Em]y arms
To[Am] hold you close and s[C]afe
But I kept my eyes [D]closed and[G] I'll never [Em]know
Where the [Am]shadows are these d[C]ays
I stood in the [D]room of a [G]house [Em]divided
[Am]Ah and it washed away from me
[C]It washed away from me
[Am]Oh and it washed away from me
[C]It washed away...
Chorus:
...to take my [Em]own
burn it down low
the light in your v[C]erse
and the shadow be[G]tween
the way that I w[D]as when I used to k[Em]now
if I go what do I hope
For the ma[C]id or the mother I'll [G]be
If only the l[D]oom and a thread would h[Em]old
It is w[C]ork to be ? out h[G]ere
Tomorrow I'm m[D]ending the empty b[Em]ones
There are r[C]oses that come without s[G]eeking
