Billy Ray Cyrus - Words by Heart
Intro: G - D - C
(verse 1)
I was [G]going through the closet, back in [D]my old home,
Found my [C]lettermans jacket, so I [D]slipped it on,
[G]Deep in the pocket, still [D]folded up tight,
Was the [C]letter you wrote, to [D]tell me goodbye,
The [G]minute I saw it, I [D]just had to smile,
It [C]smelled like old leather, as [D]smooth as a child,
I [G]took a deep breath, and [D]put it away,
There was [C]no need to read it, I knew just [D]what it would say,
(chorus)
[G]I know the words by heart, I know [D]every line
[C] [D]
[G]I know every comma, every [D]question mark
No I [C]don't have to look, I know the words [D]by [G]heart
(verse 2)
[G]Scenes like old movies, [D]flash through my head
The [C]homecoming game, the [D]night on my bed
The [G]words that you wrote, still [D]cut me in two
How you [C]said you still cared, but [D]that we were through
(chorus)
I know the words by heart, I know every line
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look, I know the words by heart
(bridge)
[Em]Ain't it funny how a [C]memory
[G]Can play tricks on your [D]mind
I don't [Em]remember a thing from my [C]classes
But I can [G]quote you [C]every [D]line
(verse 3)
I [G]took off my jacket, and [D]put it away
With your [C]note in the pocket, like I [D]found it that day
[G]Poured me a beer, then [D]pictured your face
And drank a [C]silent toast, to things that [D]time can't erase
(chorus)
I know the words by heart, I know every line
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look, I know the words by heart
I know the words by heart, I know every line
I know every comma, every question mark
No I don't have to look, I know the words by heart
