[Verse]
G
Having been by that old bank tower
C D G
I'm inclined to wonder why you feel so strong
G
You can't have really seen the hour
C D7sus4
If you think she's trying to do you wrong
G
I see you got that lump in your throat
C D G
I hear you mumbling, "That's all she wrote."
G C D7sus4
Love is in the next room drinking antidote
[Chorus]
G F D G
You ought to know that girl by now
F G
She'll never settle down anyhow
G F C G
You let your heart go too fast
F G
You let your heart go too fast
G C D G
[Verse]
G
Broken glass turns back to flint and sand
C D G
I only cease to love as love demands
G
As you know it takes a while to clap those
C D7sus4
Fragments from your idle hands
G
Couple months could dry a sea of tears
C D G
Leave only salt beneath our dried up piers
G C D7sus4
We won't believe we cared, I swear, in a couple years
[Chrous]
G F D G
You ought to know that girl by now
F G
She'll never settle down anyhow
G F C G
You let your heart go too fast
F G
You let your heart go too fast
[Bridge]
Bb
If time heals all wounds, don't you know that
D
Time also deals them
Bb D
The days go by, and everybody feels them
Bb
We struggle with our fates
D
But our action only seals them
[Solo]

[Verse]
G
They say that murder ain't the fault of the weapon
C D G
I'm smoking sad to be the gun
G
I want to blow you all away, but I don't want to put no
C D7sus4
Bullets into anyone
G
I see the feathers that infringe your heart
C D G
I see the blood ooze from around the dart
G
Cupid spites the sense that keeps two
C D7sus4
Mismatched souls apart
[Chorus]
G F D G
You ought to know that girl by now
F G
She'll never settle down anyhow
G F C G
You let your heart go too fast
F G
You let your heart go too fast
G F D G
You ought to know that girl by now
F G
She'll never turn you down anyhow
G F C G
You let your heart go too fast
F G
You let your heart go too fast
[Outro]
G F C G
You let your heart go too fast
G F C G
You let your heart go too fast
G F C G
You let your heart go too fast
G F C G
You let your heart go too fast
