You  see I got this  American Love
A  brand new planet  in my solar system
 I kiss  her  neck  but  I just can't look her in the eye
You  leave for college  at the turn  of autumn
I  spent the winter  diving to the  bottom
 I kiss  your  neck but  I just can't look you in the eye
yeaaahh
Big  hearts  big hearts
 Big hearts are for  breaking
(big  hearts are for breaking)
Whoaa  oh
Big  hearts  big hearts
 
Big  hearts are for breaking yeah
You  see I got this  critical conscience
A  brand new black  hole in the solar  system
I  dig my grave but  I just cant stand  to step inside
And  when they find  out they'll sound  every siren
Break  the door down  to find the baby  crying
You  thought I knew  Its just not right  to tell a lie
Big  hearts  big hearts
 Big hearts are for  breaking
(big  hearts are for breaking)
Whoaa  oh
Big  hearts  big hearts
 
Big  hearts are for breaking yeah
And  now there's no turning  back
In  the face of the sweat  we share
There's  nowhere to run
You're  so unprepared
It's  a new heart attack
Brand  new bricks on my back  to bear
 (
   x2)
 Don't say a word they might find us there
You  see I got this  American love
A  hidden planet in  my solar system
 Keep  your eyes shut I just cant stand to say goodbye
Big  hearts  big hearts
 Big hearts are for  breaking
(big  hearts are for breaking)
Whoaa  oh
Big  hearts  big hearts
 
Big  hearts are for breaking yeah
Big  hearts  big hearts
 Big hearts are for  breaking
(big  hearts are for breaking)
Whoaa  oh
Big  hearts  big hearts
 
Big  hearts are for breaking yeah
 End with Riff 1 over C Ab Fm Bb
