    D - A - D

 

                              D                                    A

1. The strangest thing in all the world is a heart so small,

              A                                                  D

    it will just keep right on breaking if you ever let it fall.

                D                                               G

    And I guess I've never known how to solve the mystery.

            G                     D                    A                     D

    oh, how a thing so tiny could control so much of me.

 

                   D                              A

A little bitty love can grow the strongest,

                   A7                                              D

a little bitty time away from you can be the longest.

                  D7                                        G

Oh, how I wish I had never come to know

                             D          - A                   D

how a little bitty heart can        break so big.

 

+  D - A - D

 

                     D                                           A

2. I wish that I could find a way to get a heart that's new,

                  A                                        D

    I would lock it deep inside me just out of reach of you.

               D                                            G

    But I guess there is no way how to solve the mystery,

             G                   D                     A                      D

    oh, how a thing so tiny could control so much of me.

 

+  CHORUS

 

                                D      - A                        D

+  How a little bitty heart        can break so big.
