Chris de Burgh - The Head And The Heart

the head and the heart
words & music by chris de burgh

G Em
let us talk no more , let us go to sleep ,
C
let the rain fall on the window pane ,
G D
and fill the castle keep ,
G Em
i Am weary now , weary to my bones ,
C
weary from the travelling ,
G D
and the endless country roads ,
C G/D D
that brought us here tonight , for this weekend ,
G C
and a chance to work it out ,
Am D7 Em – E
for we cannot live together , and we cannot live apart ,
Am D G – C – Dsus – D
it’s the classical dilemma between the head and the heart;

she is sleeping now , softly in the night ,
and in my heart of darkness she has been the only light ,
i Am lost in love , looking at her face ,
and still i hear the voice of reason ,
telling me to chase these dreams away ,
oh here we go again , we’re divided from the start ,
for we cannot live together , and we cannot live apart ,
it’s the classical dilemma between the head and the heart ,
the head and the heart;

D7sus D7 G Em
now the dawn begins , and still i cannot sleep ,
[ . . . ]
my head is spinning round but now the way is clear to me ,
there is nothing left , nothing left to show ,
the jury and the judge will see , it’s time to let her go ,
now hear the heart :
i believe that time will show ,
she will always be a part of my world ,
i don’t want to see her go;
Am D
so i plead my case to hear the heart ,
G – G/F# – Em
and stay . . .
C D G C
it’s time to let her go – i don’t want to let her go . . .
it’s time to let her go – i don’t want to let her go . . .
C D Em
it’s time to let her go . . .
E Am
and in this classical dilemma ,
D G
i find for – the heart ,
C G/D D G
