Intro: 
Em X1 Em X1 Am7 G C C X2 Em  
 
           Em                X1 
There are locks on the doors 
      Em                   X1       Am7     G         C   C X2 
And chains stretched across all the entries to the inside 
           Em              X1 
There's a gate and a fence 
     Em            X1          Am7        G            C   C X2 
And bars to protect from only God knows what lurks outside 
Em                 X1 Em                   X1 
Who stole your heart left you with a space 
      Am7        G         C     C X2 
That no one and nothing can fill 
 
 
Em                  X1    Em          X1 
Who stole your heart who took it away 
Am7               G              C     C X2 Em 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 
Am7 
  Skin and bone 
B7 
  What robber what thief 
Em                                 Am7 Em 
  who stole your heart and the key 
 
 
Em                   X1 
Who stole your heart 
      Em                 X1 
The smile from your face 
    Am7            G             C     C X2 
The innocence the light from your eyes 
Em                  X1           Em          X1 
Who stole your heart or did you give it away 
    Am7     G             C C X2 
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 
Am7 
  Skin and bone 
B7 
  What robber what thief 
Em 
  Who stole your heart and the key 
 
 
Am7                     B7  Em Em 
  Now all sentiment is gone 
Am7                       B7      Em Em 
  Now you have no trust in no one 
 
 
Em                   X1 
Who stole your heart 
          Em           X1    Am7        G         C   C X2 
Did you know but forget the method and moment in time 
           Am7            B7                         Em Em 
Was it a trickster using mirrors and sleight of hand 
           Am7  B7                         Em Em 
A strong elixir or a potion that you drank 
Em                  X1 
Who hurt your heart 
Em                    X1 
Bruised it in a place 
      Am7        G         C     C X2 
That no one and nothing can heal 
 
 
                Am7       B7                  Em Em 
You've gone to wizards, princes and magic men 
                Am7          B7                          Em Em 
You've gone to witches, the good the bad the indifferent 
Am7                          B7   Em Em 
  But still all sentiment is gone 
Am7                             B7      Em Em 
  But still you have no trust in no one 
 
 
            Em                 X1 
If you can tear down the walls 
           Em        X1  Am7           G          C    C X2 
Throw your armor away rEmove all roadblocks barricades 
               Em                  X1     Em            X1 
If you can forget there are bandits and dragons to slay 
              Am7            G              C   C X2 
And don't forget that you defend an Empty space 
                  Am7 
And rEmEmber the tinman 
B7                                     Em Em 
Found he had what he thought he lacked 
              Am7 
REmEmber the tinman 
    B7                              Em Em 
Go find your heart and take it back 
 
 
Em                   X1 
Who stole your heart 
       Em            X1 
Maybe no one can say 
     Am7          G          C  C X2 Em 
One day you will find it I pray
