[Verse 1]
When I give these books away will my ink betray me?
Will my stories resist wings
And grow feet and convince men that I m boasting?
Or will my psalms seek the company of lonely breaths?
Will they inspire subtle lovers
BbminMaj7
To kiss with mouths they don t have yet?
Boy, whoever reads about how much I adore you
Fadd2
I hope my words bring them something new, something new
Ooh child bless your heart, keep a tender heart
[Chorus 1]
Ooh child bless your heart, keep a tender heart
NC
Heart, heart

[Verse 2]
With you I can empty myself of all my rivers and become a remarkable sky
How could I keep these love documents to myself?
How could I restrict what s given me life?
BbminMaj7
Today I ll find a kind and burrowing creature that can carry these pages into the ground
He ll recite the details of your love with his family
Fadd2
And what was once a whisper will become a deep rumbling sound
[Chorus 2]
Ooh child bless your heart, keep a tender heart
NC
Heart, heart
