D5               E5
He can't sleep, he can't eat
         B5                 D5           D5               G5
He keeps thinking about her behind the locked door of her bedroom
       B5                     D5             D5         G5
As she knowingly tortures the shell that is left of her bridegroom
             D5        E5
And what did he do to deserve
     B5                  D5           D5             G5
This whore of a wife who parades her disgrace to his face now
        B5                        D5            D5           G5
When he loved her and gave up his life in more ways than she knows how

    A5
And all I can say is that
D5                  B5                      G5
Love is a terrible art, it's a hook in the heart
                     E5   D5 A5
That can drag you on broken glass
           D5                          B5
And as you protest the shards in your flesh
                        G5                         E5  D5 A5
The hook tears out your chest until you're just a broken mess

         D5           E5
Where is God in this rot?
  B5                          D5          D5             G5
Depraved she commits the most heinous of sins and breaks her vows
       B5                        D5          D5
But he loves her despite all the crimes she devises in his house
         D5              E5
Where is God? I've been taught
          B5                        D5           D5        G5
That He's close to the broken, it's true I have spoken with Him some
       B5                        D5         D5           G5
When I look in my brother's eyes I can see where his love comes from

    A5
And all I can say is that
D5                  B5                      G5
Love is a terrible art, it's a hook in the heart
                     E5   D5 A5
That can drag you on broken glass
           D5                          B5
And as you protest the shards in your flesh
                        G5                         E5  D5 A5
The hook tears out your chest until you're just a broken mess

    G5            A5                D5
But he has mercy on her lover and does not bleed him dry
  G5             D5                        A5
A credit to his self control, if it were me, that monster would probably die

D5                   B5                             G5
Love is a beautiful thing, she can make your heart sing
                       E5  D5 A5
When you're walking on broken glass
                   D5                          B5
She will open your eyes, make your heart feel alive
                     G5
Point you toward the sunrise
                        E5  D5 A5           G5
Help you leave all this broken mess behind

  A5                 D5
Love is a beautiful thing
E5                  D5             A5
Will you leave this broken mess behind?
