Five Room Love StoryMichael Timmins[D] [A] [G] [D] I met her in a church [A] on a Sunday evening not [G] late on Saturday [D] night. She sang Ave Maria a little [A] flat and out of time [G] but that's what drew me to her so [D] that's alright. As she placed a [A] nickel in the basket [D] that I held before her I [A] asked her [G] to be my wife. [D] There's [G] one cardboard heart for every time you said I [D] love you, a painted [G] star for every secret that we [D] shared, the [A] dried lima beans and [G] small plastic birds because you [D] cared. I hear them talk [A] and I watch them swap their [G] old black and [D] whites. Bitter and beaten they [A] talk of life's cheatin' like [G] old boxers comparing [D] scars. All I [A] remember is a smile at the top of [D] every working morning and a [A] shoulder always willing and [D] able and [A] all those nights that we'd spend just [D] sitting and [A] talking [G] around our kitchen table. [D] There's [G] one cardboard heart for every time you said I [D] love you, a painted [G] star for every secret that we [D] shared, the [A] dried lima beans and [G] small plastic birds because you [D] cared. [A] [G] [D] [A] [G] [D] [D] Five rooms made stronger by the [A] breaking and the healing of the [G] two hearts they protected with- [D] in. And now one heart left aching, [A] pasting and painting these [G] walls with memories of [D] all that has been. There's [G] one cardboard heart for every time you said I [D] love you, a painted [G] star for every secret that we [D] shared, the [A] dried lima beans and [G] small plastic birds because you [D] cared. There's [G] one cardboard heart for every time you said [D] I love you, a painted [G] star for every secret that we [D] shared, the [G] dried lima beans and [D] small plastic birds [A] [G] because you [D] cared.
