KEEPER OF MY HEART (Amy Ray)
----------------------------

[Actually in B; capo at the 2nd fret.]
[Each chord is one measure.]
[Asus9/G=3x2200; Bm7(4)=x20230 or x20200]


[Intro: strum Asus9.]

    Asus9   Asus9            Asus9/G  Asus9/G
For you,      I would tattoo me
     Bm7(4)          Bm7(4)            D(9)             E
With lines crossing into a hand and a heart that would never bleed
           Asus9    Asus9      Asus9/G           Asus9/G
With the twilight     and the horse drawn on my arm
Bm7(4)             Bm7(4)    D(9)        E
Standing for an addiction, pray we go unharmed.

G       G              D    D
  Here is my love and anger
            C(9)          C(9)  D                D
You see now, these are my gods,   these are my scars
      G        G              D    D
Here is, here is my love and anger
             C(9)      C(9)                     D   D
Well, these arms are burning, but they're open wide

Some things, I hold too tightly
Some things, I'll never, I'll never touch
Oh, but I'm wearing down the stones in the river
And you see all my life, I've painted with anger's brush

Now, now could you lift me through my love and anger
You see now, these are your gods, these are my scars
Lift me through my love and anger
Oh, well, my arms are burning, but they're open wide

Oh, you precious kid
I have a motion, and it's just for you
I see a warrior, barefoot and dancing
Oh with tears of pain and beauty, and all of this is true

For you lift me through my love and anger
You see now, these are my gods, these are your scars
Lift me through my love and anger
Oh, well, my arms are burning but they're open wide.

Asus9              Asus9     Asus9/G         Asus9/G
Pointing out the graveyards, I will be the reaper
   Bm7(4)            Bm7(4)       E    E
If you will be the keeper of my heart
Asus9           Asus9   Asus9/G           Asus9/G
I will be the reaper if you will be the keeper
Bm7(4)          Bm7(4)         E    E         Asus9.
  You are the keeper of this heart,   of my heart
