From the self-titled Lucinda Williams album
(Label: KOCH REISSUES / Item No: KOC-CD-8005)
Note: Lucinda does this song in F, but I transposed it to A to fit my vocal range.
The song is in 3/4 time.
[V1] A A
it weighs a lot, it costs a lot
A D
and it's worth a whole lot more
A E
but it's not something you could afford anyway
A A
cuz you weren't careful with my love
A7 D A
you lost the key to the door of my heart
E A
now there's a price you have to pay
[V2] A A
you can shop around and look around
A7 D
but you'll never find
A A E
another one quite like this one anyplace
A A
and believe me, it won't be easy
A7 D A
to repair it this time cuz it's my heart
E A
and there's a price you have to pay
[CHORUS]
E E A
it's my heart and there's a price you have to pay
D A
enough is enough
D A A
you played too rough with my heart
E A
now there's a price you have to pay
[SOLO]
[V3] A A
well, it's broken and there's nothin'
A7 D
that I can do now
A A E
I can fix it but it won't ever be the same
A A
I can pick up all the pieces
A7 D A
and start over somehow but it's my heart
E A
and there's a price you have to pay
[CHORUS] then tag with:
D A
enough is enough
D A A
you played too rough with my heart
E A
now there's a price you have to pay
