Bm      G                  Bm
As a girl, I lived in a million homes 
                  Em        
So I always would keep to myself 
       Dbm
And my lessons were learned
         Dbm
From the stories and poems
                             C
I would steal from a library shelf 
 
[Chorus] 
         Abm
Yes, the books like the Roots 
        Bb
Weren't mine to keep 
        Gbm                Em
But the words weren't left behind 
      Ebm           Dbm                Eb
And I think of them all and I can't sleep 
      Bm               Dbm    Gb
And a poet who read my mind 
 
[Verse]  
                B
As the wise men once wrote
Gb                 Ab 
Never give all the heart 
Ebm        Dbm
Well, it's easy to see 
       Abm
He was writing for me 
       Ebm                    Abm
I just wish I could play that part 
 
[Chorus] 
        E                         Gb
Yes, he scribbled that love isn't worth thinking of 
Ebm                             
That is fades out from kiss to kiss 
B
If I just learned those lines 
           Db                      Dbm
Well, just think of the misery I'd miss 
 
[Verse] 
       Ab
As the Irish men said 
B                               Eb
Don't put your heart up to play 
        B
When he warned of the cost 
        Gb
And the heart that he lost 
       Ebm                    Gb
Mister Yeats really paved the way 
        Dbm
For the men that I've known 
         G
Who have clearly shown 
Ebm                          Gb
They've reading him from the start 
               Dbm
'Cause when it comes to me 
      Db                G
Well, their kisses come free 
         B                  B
But they never give all the heart 
 
[Instrumental] 
E Gb B Ebm 
 
[Bridge]
        B
When he warned of the cost 
        Dbm
And the heart that he lost 
       Ebm                    Gb
Mister Yeats really paved the way 
 
[Outro]
        Dbm
For the men that I've known 
      G
Well, they've clearly shown
Ebm                                  Ab 
They been reading him from the start 
            B
'Cause each time that I fall 
     Dbm   Em     Eb    Bm    Em
They never give all the heart 
C B
MmmmmmMmmm....
