 I hear  a lot of stories,  I sup - pose  they could be true,
 All  about love,  and what it  can do to you,
 High  is the risk of striking  out, the risk  of getting hurt,
 And still...  I have...  so much  to learn,
 Well, I know,  'cause I think  a - bout  it all  the time,
 I know...  that  real love  is hard  to find!
 And a good  heart,  these days, is hard  to find,
 True  love,  the lasting  kind,
 And a good  heart,  these days, is hard  to find,
 So please  be gentle  with this heart  of mine!
 My expectations may  be high, I blame  it on my youth,
 Soon  enough I'll learn  the painful  truth,
 I'll face  it like a fighter,  then boast  of how I've grown,
 Anything  is better  than being  alone,
 Well, I know,  'cause I learn  a little  every day,
 I know,  'cause I listen  when  the experts  say...
 ..That a good  heart,  these days, is hard  to find,
 True  love,  the lasting  kind,
 And a good  heart,  these days, is hard  to find,
 So please  be gentle  with this heart  of mine!

 As I  reflect on all  my childhood  dreams,
My  ideas of love  weren't as foolish  as they seemed,
If  I don't start looking  now, I'll  be left be - hind,
 And a good  heart,  these days,  it's hard to find,
 I know,  it's a dream  I'm willing to  de - fend,
 I know,  it'll  all be worth  it, in  the end!
 And a good  heart,  these days, is hard  to find,
 True  love,  the lasting  kind,
 And a good  heart,  these days, is hard  to find,
 So please  be gentle  with this heart  of mine!
 And a good  heart,  these days, is hard  to find,
 True  love,  the lasting  kind,
A good heart, these days, is hard to find,
C6
So please be gentle with this heart-----,
 
With this heart of mine-----!
 ||:  Oh, oh -oh, oh, oh -oh, a good heart,  uh -uh! Baby, baby, a good heart!:||(Repeat)
 (Suggestion for coda)
 A good--- heart------!

I h[G]ear a lot of sto[Em]ries, I sup - p[D]ose they could be t[G]rue,
A[G]ll about l[C]ove, and what [G]it can do to y[D]ou,
Hi[G]gh is the risk of str[Em]iking out, the ri[D]sk of getting h[G]urt,
And st[G]ill... I ha[D]ve... so m[C]uch to learn,
Well, I k[C]now, 'cause I [Csus4]think a - b[C]out it a[G]ll the t[Em]ime,  [D]     [G]
I k[C]now... that[Csus4] real l[C]ove is h[D]ard to find!

And a go[G]od he[D]art, these days, is h[Em]ard to f[C]ind,
Tr[G]ue lo[C]ve, the las[G]ting k[D]ind,
And a go[G]od he[D]art, these days, is h[Em]ard to f[C]ind,
So ple[G]ase be ge[D]ntle with this he[G]art of mine!

My ex[G]pectations [Em]may be high, I bl[D]ame it on my y[G]outh,
So[G]on enough I'll le[C]arn the pa[G]inful tr[D]uth,
I'll fa[G]ce it like a fi[Em]ghter, then b[D]oast of how I've gr[G]own,
Any[G]thing is be[D]tter than be[C]ing alone,
Well, I k[C]now, 'cause I [Csus4]learn a li[C]ttle ev[G]ery [Em]day,  [D]     [G]
I k[C]now, 'cause I l[Csus4]isten w[C]hen the ex[D]perts say...

..That a go[G]od he[D]art, these days, is h[Em]ard to f[C]ind,
Tr[G]ue lo[C]ve, the las[G]ting k[D]ind,
And a go[G]od he[D]art, these days, is h[Em]ard to f[C]ind,
So ple[G]ase be ge[D]ntle with this he[G]art of mine!

As [G]I reflect on [Em]all my chi[D]ldhood dr[G]eams,
[G]My ideas of l[C]ove weren't as fo[G]olish as they se[D]emed,
[G]If I don't start lo[Em]oking now, I[D]'ll be left be - h[G]ind,
And a go[G]od he[D]art, these days,  [C]    it's hard to find,
I kn[C]ow, it's a [Csus4]dream I'm wil[C]ling [G]to de - f[Em]end,  [D]     [G]
I k[C]now, it'll[Csus4] all be wo[C]rth it, [D]in the end!

And a go[G]od he[D]art, these days, is ha[Em]rd to fi[C]nd,
Tr[G]ue lo[C]ve, the las[G]ting k[D]ind,
And a go[G]od he[D]art, these days, is h[Em]ard to f[C]ind,
So ple[G]ase be ge[D]ntle with this he[G]art of mine!

And a go[G]od he[D]art, these days, is h[Em]ard to f[C]ind,

A go[G]od he[D]art, these days, is h[Em]ard to f[C]ind,
