D               Em
He can't sleep, he can't eat
         Bm                 D           D/F#               G
He keeps thinking about her behind the locked door of her bedroom
       Bm                     D             D/F#         G
As she knowingly tortures the shell that is left of her bridegroom
             D        Em
And what did he do to deserve
     Bm                  D           D/F#             G
This whore of a wife who parades her disgrace to his face now
        Bm                        D            D/F#           G
When he loved her and gave up his life in more ways than she knows how

    A
And all I can say is that
D                  Bm                      G
Love is a terrible art, it's a hook in the heart
                     Em   D2 A
That can drag you on broken glass
           D                          Bm
And as you protest the shards in your flesh
                        G                         Em  D2 A
The hook tears out your chest until you're just a broken mess

         D           Em
Where is God in this rot?
  Bm                          D          D/F#             G
Depraved she commits the most heinous of sins and breaks her vows
       Bm                        D          D/F#
But he loves her despite all the crimes she devises in his house
         D              Em
Where is God? I've been taught
          Bm                        D           D/F#        G
That He's close to the broken, it's true I have spoken with Him some
       Bm                        D         D/F#           G
When I look in my brother's eyes I can see where his love comes from

    A
And all I can say is that
D                  Bm                      G
Love is a terrible art, it's a hook in the heart
                     Em   D2 A
That can drag you on broken glass
           D                          Bm
And as you protest the shards in your flesh
                        G                         Em  D2 A
The hook tears out your chest until you're just a broken mess

    G            A                D
But he has mercy on her lover and does not bleed him dry
  G             D                        A
A credit to his self control, if it were me, that monster would probably die

D                   Bm                             G
Love is a beautiful thing, she can make your heart sing
                       Em  D2 A
When you're walking on broken glass
                   D                          Bm
She will open your eyes, make your heart feel alive
                     G
Point you toward the sunrise
                        Em  D2 A           G
Help you leave all this broken mess behind

  A                 D
Love is a beautiful thing
Em                  D             A
Will you leave this broken mess behind?
