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

E              BI was out there all alone
A                       EI was searching for a friend
E                       BYou saw my need and you came along
A                           EWith that charm you took me in

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

E                         BThat way of loving is my weakness
A                            EYou made me yours, body and soul
E                           BMy mind tells me I should leave you
A                         EBut my heart can't let me go

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

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

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

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

E         C#m     B           I can't free my heart from you baby

E         C#m     B             I can't free my heart from you baby
