Heart On A String
by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
from the album "Here We Rest"
E B
I was out there all alone
A E
I was searching for a friend
E B
You saw my need and you came along
A E
With that charm you took me in
C#m B
Then one night you captured my heart
A F# G# A B
Turned the smoke into a flame
E C#m B
I can't free my heart from you baby
A F# E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
E C#m B
I can't free my heart from you baby
A F# E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
E B
That way of loving is my weakness
A E
You made me yours, body and soul
E B
My mind tells me I should leave you
A E
But my heart can't let me go
C#m B
You tied me down to you and you went away
A F# G# A B
Turned all of my pleasure into pain
E C#m B
I can't free my heart from you baby
A F# E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
E C#m B
I can't free my heart from you baby
A F# E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
Guitar Solo
E B
Every time I try to break loose
A E
That's when you tighten up on your string
E B
I can't hold up what I'm going through
A E
My heart is weakening from the strain
C#m B
I know, I know if you untied me baby
A F# G# A B
I'd be bound to you just the same
E C#m B
I can't free my heart from you baby
A F# E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
E C#m B
I can't free my heart from you baby
A F# E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
E C#m B
I can't free my heart from you baby
A F# E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
E C#m B
I can't free my heart from you baby
A F# E
Cause you keep it hanging on your string
