Hearts And Crosses

A C#m F#m E

[Verse 1]
A     E     F#m         D   A 
   In every film she saw, a 
            E
girl never wanted more
F5   F#m               D        
Than some cool boy to love and 
        A     E
hold her tight
A      E      F#m  D      A   
   She wasn't so naïve to hope
        E
 for Keanu Reeves
F5  F#m                    D    
But still, she thought a boy 
               A     E E6
could make things right


[Chorus]
D               A      D        
   How would it feel to hold 
     A
someone real
  D           A                   
To whisper "I love you" and lean 
      Bm
on his shoulder?
D                A       D      
   How would her heart react to 
    A
the part
     D            A               
Where he puts his lips close to 
          Bm
hers and he holds her
        E
He just holds her?


[Post-Chorus]
A        D        F#m
Melanie, Melanie, Melanie lies down 
to sleep
       Bm                 E  
With a head full of dreams and 
  Bm                 E
hatches up schemes
A        D        F#m
Melanie, Melanie, Melanie plays make
 believe
       Bm               E   Bm   
With a heart so enthused if never
          E
 yet used

A        E   F#m        D       
   Well, Melanie looked cool and
 A                  E
 soon she had quite a pool
F5 F#m               D           
Of hopeful lovers swooning at her
 A    E
 feet
A      E    F#m        D       
   But only one stood out, the 
A                   E
boy with the film star pout
F5  F#m              D          
Was this the boy to make her 
     A      E E6
life complete?

[Chorus]
D               A      D        
   How would it feel to hold 
     A
someone real
  D           A                   
To whisper "I love you" and lean 
      Bm
on his shoulder?
D                A       D      
   How would her heart react to 
    A
the part
     D            A               
Where he puts his lips close to 
          Bm
hers and he holds her
        E
He just holds her?


[Post-Chorus]
A        D        F#m
Melanie, Melanie, Melanie lies down 
to sleep
       Bm                 E  
With a head full of dreams and 
  Bm                 E
hatches up schemes
A        D        F#m
Melanie, Melanie, Melanie plays make
 believe
       Bm               E   Bm   
With a heart so enthused if never
      E
 yet used


[Bridge] no guitar here. bass comes 
in halfway through, you could follow
 the bassline
N.C
Then one romantic day, he took her 
hand and led her away
N.C
He pushed her down, removed her 
clothes
N.C
Then put his body closer than close
   A          C#m     G
He held her mouth when she tried to 
scream
       A      C#m       G
It was all so different from in her 
dreams
   G       Bm    F            E
He never smiled, he never whispered
   G         Bm E
He bit her hard, but never kissed 
her

A   C#m G   G   A   C#m G   G
G   Bm  F   E   G   Bm  E   E
A   C#m G   G   A   C#m G   G
G   Bm  F   E   G   Bm  E   
(this instrumental part follows the 
E
same rhythm as bass from earlier in 
the bridge)

[Chorus]
D              A      D         A
   Why does it feel so horribly real
     D      A                      
When images of him float back into 
Bm
her mind?
D               A         D     
   Why does her heart hurt most 
       A
at the part
    D           A
When he gets up and disappears
        Bm               E
With no goodbye, with no goodbye?


[Post-Chorus] *barre the final A 
chord in the last line (577655)
A        D        F#m
Melanie, Melanie, Melanie lies down 
to sleep
       Bm                  E     
With a head full of dreams, such 
Bm              E
horrible dreams
A        D        F#m           
Melanie, Melanie, Melanie, plays
                     Bm      
 make believe with a heart so 
       E
confused
    Bm           E      Bm       
And feeling so used, no love left
    E    A*
 to lose
