          Em                           S1        Em                      S1
There are locks on the doors                 And chains stretched across
          Am7   G       C              S2
All the entries to the inside
          Em                           S1        Em                      S1
There's a gate and a fence                   And bars to protect
          Am7        G          C      S2
From only God knows what lurks outside
Em                                     S1    Em                          S1
Who stole your heart                         Left you with a space
      Am7        G           C         S2
That no one and nothing can fill
Em                                     S1    Em                          S1
Who stole your heart                         Who took it away
Am7           G              C         S2    Em
Knowing that without it you can't live


Am7                     B7
Who took away the part, so essential to the whole
Em
Left you a hollow body, skin and bone
Am7           B7
What robber, what thief
Em
Who stole your heart and the key


Em                                     S1    Em                          S1
Who stole your heart                         The smile from your face
      Am7           G              C   S2
The innocence the light from your eyes
Em                                     S1    Em                          S1
Who stole your heart                         Or did you give it away
    Am7    G             C             S2
And if so then when and why


Am7                     B7
Who took away the part, so essential to the whole
Em
Left you a hollow body, skin and bone
Am7           B7
What robber, what thief
Em
Who stole your heart and the key
Am7                   B7               Em
Now all sentiment is gone
Am7                      B7            Em
Now you have no trust in no one


Em                                     S1    Em                          S1
Who Stole your heart                         Did you know but forget
    Am7         G         C            S2
The method and moment in time


          Am7             B7                               Em
Was it a trickster using mirrors and slide of hand
          Am7         B                                    Em
A strong elixir or a potion that you drank


Em                                     S1    Em                          S1
Who hurt your heart                          Bruised it in a place
     Am7         G       C             S2
That no one and nothing can heal

                Am7      B7                                Em
You've gone to wizards, princes and magic men
                Am7          B7                            Em
You've gone to witches, the good the bad the indifferent
Am7                     B7                                 Em
But still all sentiment is gone
Am7                            B7                          Em
But still you have no trust in no one


Em                                     S1    Em                          S1
If you can tear down the walls               Throw your armor away
Am7         G          C               S2
Remove all roadblocks barricades
Em                                     S1    Em                          S1
If you can forget there are bandits          And dragons to slay
             Am7             G             C         S2
And don't forget that you defend an empty space

                 Am7      B7                                         Em
And remember the tinman, found he had what he thought he lacked
              Am7     B7
Remember the tinman, go find your heart and take it back


Em                                     S1    Em                          S1
Who stole your heart                         Maybe no one can say
Am7               G         C          S2  Em
One day you will find it I pray
