The head and the heart
G - C - D
(2x)
G Em
1. Let us talk no more, let us go to sleep,
C
G D
let
the rain fall on the window pane, and fill the castle keep.
G Em
I am
weary now, weary to my bones,
C
G D
weary from the travelling the endless country roads,
C D
that
brought us here tonight, for all this weekend,
G C
and
a chance to work it out,
Am - D Em
- E
for we cannot live
together, and we cannot live
apart,
Am - D
G - C - D
it's the classical
dilemma between the head and the
heart.
G Em
2. She is sleeping now, softly in the night,
C
G D
and
in my heart of darkness she has been the only light.
G Em
I am
lost in love, looking at her face,
C
G D
and
still I hear the voice of reason, telling me to chase
C D
these dreams away, oh here we go again,
G C
we're divided from the start,
Am - D Em - E
for we cannot live
together, and we cannot live
apart,
Am - D
G - C
it's the classical
dilemma between the head and the
heart,
D G - C - D
the
head and the heart.
G Em
3. Now the dawn begins, and still I cannot
sleep,
C
G D
my
head is spinning round, but now the way is clear to me.
G Em
There is nothing left, nothing left to show,
C
G D
the
jury and the judge will see, it's time to let her go.
C D
Now
hear the heart, oho !
G C
I
believe that time will show,
Am D
Em - E
she will always be a
part of my world, I don't want to see her go,
Am D G - Em - C
so I plead my case to
hear the heart, and stay...
D G C
+ It's time to let her go - I don't want to let
her go. (3x)
D Em - E
+ It's time to let her go.
Am - D
And
in this classical dilemma, I find
for - - -
G - C - D - G
the heart.
