Heart On A String
by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
from the album "Here We Rest"

E              B
I was out there all alone
A                       E
I was searching for a friend
E                       B
You saw my need and you came along
A                           E
With that charm you took me in

C#m                 B
Then one night you captured my heart
A                          F#   G#    A     B
Turned the smoke into a flame
   
E         C#m     B           
I can't free my heart from you baby
           A               F#       E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
E         C#m     B             
I can't free my heart from you baby
           A               F#       E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string

E                         B
That way of loving is my weakness
A                            E
You made me yours, body and soul
E                           B
My mind tells me I should leave you
A                         E
But my heart can't let me go

C#m                              B
You tied me down to you and you went away
A                               F#    G#    A     B
Turned all of my pleasure into pain

E         C#m     B           
I can't free my heart from you baby
           A               F#       E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
E         C#m     B             
I can't free my heart from you baby
           A               F#       E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string

Guitar Solo

E                    B
Every time I try to break loose
A                                   E          
That's when you tighten up on your string
E                         B
I can't hold up what I'm going through
A                                 E
My heart is weakening from the strain

C#m                      B
I know, I know if you untied me baby
A                             F#     G#     A    B
I'd be bound to you just the same

E         C#m     B           
I can't free my heart from you baby
           A               F#       E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
E         C#m     B             
I can't free my heart from you baby
           A               F#       E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string


E         C#m     B           
I can't free my heart from you baby
           A               F#       E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
E         C#m     B             
I can't free my heart from you baby
           A               F#       E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
