Heart Of Stone

[G] [G] [G]+la [G] [G]+la [G] [G] [G] [G]+la [G] [G]+la [G]

[G]             [C]                  [G]    [G]+la [G] [G]+la
Beneath the white fire of the moon
[G]Love's wings are[C] broken all too soo[G]n
[Am]We never learn
[D7]Hurt together, [Bm]hurt alone[Em]
[C]Don't you sometimes
Wish your h[D]eart was a made of ston[G]e
[G]We turn the whe[C]el, and break the cha[G]in
[G]Put steel to st[C]eel, and laugh at pai[G]n
We're dreamers in castle's made of s[Am]and
[D7]The road to Eden's ov[Bm]ergrown [Em]
[C]Don't you sometimes
[D]Wish your heart was made of s[G]tone

Look at the headline
[Em]Big c[D]rowd at the cra[C]zy hous[D]e
[Em]Long queu[D]e for the j[C]oker's shoe[D]s
[Em]Ten ro[D]unds in the r[C]ing with lov[D]e
[C]Do you lose and win
Or win and lose

Sweet rain like mercy in the night
(Lay me down, wash away the sorrow)
Caress the world and set it right
(Lay me down, show me your tomorrow)
Summer tears, winter and the moment's flown
Don't you sometimes
Wish your heart was a made of stone
Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone

You get the picture
No room for the innocent
Peak season in lonely town
Knocked out of the ring by love
Are you down and up
Or up and down

I ask the river for a sign
(In a dream, we go on together)
How long is love supposed to shine
(In a dream, diamonds are forever)
But you and I, hurt together, hurt alone
Don't you sometimes
Wish your heart was made of stone

Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone, you'll be well protected)
Don't you sometimes
Wish your heart was made of stone
(With a heart of stone, you'll be well connected)
