Boots or Hearts
The Tragically Hip (1990)


4/4 | D u - u - u - u |
      1 &   &   &   &

Well I | [G] think that there's a | problem here
her | [G] voice just don't sound | right
but I | [G] left myself on her | answering machine
said "I'm | [G] back in town to- | night."

I feel I've | [C] stepped out of the | wilderness
all | [C] squint- eyed and con- | fused
but even | [G] babies raised by | wolves they know
e- | [G] xactly when they've been | used

Chorus
See | [C] when it starts to | [D] fall apart,
man it | [G] really falls a- | part
like | [C] boots or hearts, oh | [D] when they start
they | [G] really fall a- | part

| [G] Fingers and toes, | fingers and toes,
| [G] forty things we | share
| [G] forty- one if | you include,
the | [G] fact that we don't | care

Now you've | [C] blocked off most of | main street
| [C] for your faith pa- | rade
| [G] everyone in town now, they | probably all agree
I'm | [G] lying in the bed I | made

Chorus
See | [C] when it starts to | [D] fall apart,
it | [G] really falls a- | part
like | [C] boots or hearts, oh | [D] when they start
they | [G] really fall a- | part

Solo Over Verse (optional)

| [G] | [G] | [G] | [G] |
| [C] | [C] | [C] | [C] |
| [G] | [G] | [G] | [G] |

Now you | [G] won't even let me | talk to you
we | [G] got some air to | clear
we'd | [G] probably only agree on one | thing anyway
that's what the | [G] hell is happening | here?

| [C] Fingers and toes, | fingers and toes
| [C] forty things we | share
| [G] forty- one if | you include
the | [G] fact that we don't | care

Chorus
See | [C] when it starts to | [D] fall apart,
it | [G] really falls a- | part
like | [C] boots or hearts, oh | [D] when they start
they | [G] really fall a- | part
well | [G] fall apart | [G] | [G] | [G↓]
