Hole In His Heart
words and music by Amelia Blake
Bm D E G
Bm D E G Bm

A---------------G-------------------F#7-----------Bm-- A--G---F#---Bm
Don't try to reach him, he'll just back away
D---------------E-----------G-------------F#7
He doesn't mean to, it's just his way
Bm----------------------------------E
He keeps his distance so he won't get burned
Em-------------------------------F#7-------------Bm
That's just a taste of the tactics he's learned

Chorus:
(no chord)-----------------F#7-----------------------------------------Bm
He's got a hole in his heart no ordinary girl could ever fill


He's got it down to an art, making sure no one ever will


Well he thinks he knows the ending, so he's afraid to start
G-----------------------------F#7-----------Bm
Just no mending that hole in his heart

Bm - D - E - G
Bm - D - E - G

Ask his no questions, he'll tell you no lies
He doesn't like to deal with goodbyes
He's changed his mind about what "forever" means
He's starting to believe there may be no such thing

Chorus

Bridge:
E-------------------------------------------------------C
Where something's missing since the day he was betrayed


He's been feeling like a little piece of him was torn away


Now love can't hold him, 'cause he can't hold love


It just seems to seep away through the gaping wound of...

That hole in his heart no ordinary woman could ever fill
He's got it down to an art, making damn sure no one ever will
Well he thinks he knows the ending, so he's afraid to start
Just no mending that hole in his heart

Bm - D - E
------------------G------------Bm - D - E
He's got a hole in his heart
-----------------G-------------Bm - D
