intro
C   D

C                D
were you born in water,
C         D
a fish so cold?
C                D
were you born in autumn,
C              D  
as the river froze?
C
cause you shut up
D
and you're shut in
C
and i know that
                D
you've got your reasons

but even still, listen:
C                           D 
honey, let your red heart show

C                      G     D   C    
won't you let your red heart show?
                       G     D   C  
won't you let your red heart show? 
                       G     D   C  
can't you let your red heart show?

C       D x2

C               D 
were you born a closed book,
C                   D 
full of secret lines? (and bound so tight)
C                   D
or did you learn to lock it,
C                          D  
as not to break your spine? (oh! you were bound so tight)
 C
cause you shut up
D
and you're all shut inside
C            D   
and i wanted to get you smiling

and maybe once in awhile you could try
C                              D 
and maybe let your red heart show
C                       D  
Oh let your red heart show 
C                            D
Come on let your red heart show
C                    D  
Let your red heart show
