Shy Heart by Ponyphonic Guitar Chords

[Intro]
F C A# F C
F C A# F C

[Verse 1]
C F
Be yourself, they say, but be assertive
A# F
Hold your ground but do not be unkind
F Dm
I have sought to be both lamb and lion
A# F C
Heartache is the thing I tend to find
Gm C F
Can I only have what I can capture
Dm A A#
Will I be unheard unless I shout
Gm A Dm
Clamor overwhelms me and I wonder
Gm A# C
What is there to be so loud about?

[Chorus]
F A# F
Many are the musings of my shy heart
A# F Gm A#
Though precious few are spoken out aloud
C A# F A#
How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style
A# G C
And send them out like magic through the crowd
Dm A# C
Then everyone would listen and I wouldn’t be afraid
Dm G
I wouldn’t shrink away and disappear
A# C F A#
I don’t want them to worship me or care that much at all
Gm A# C
I only want to know they know I’m here

[Verse 2]
C F
I can wear a mask of pluck and power
A# F
But it never says what I intend
F C Dm
Words become like scissors in my keeping
A# F C
And friendships are so difficult to mend
Gm C F
I don’t want to shout above the babble
Dm A A#
I’m not even sure what I would say
Gm A Dm
Maybe just, “Excuse me, could we maybe
Gm A# C
Be a little quieter today?”

[Chorus]
F A# F
Many are the musings of my shy heart
A# F Gm A#
Though precious few are spoken out aloud
C A# F A#
How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style
A# G C
And send them out like magic through the crowd
Dm A# C
Then everyone would listen and I wouldn’t be afraid
Dm G
I wouldn’t shrink away and disappear
A# C F A#
I don’t want them to worship me or care that much at all
Gm A# C
I only want to know they know I’m here
Gm C F
I only want to know they know I’m here

[Verse 3]
C F
Part of me has things she wants and wishes
A# F
Part of me is worried she is wrong
F C Dm
Part of me is busy masquerading
A# F C
As a girl whose pieces get along
Gm C F
I don’t mean to come across as distant
Dm A A#
I don’t think it adds to my mystique
Gm A Dm F
I just find it difficult conversing
Gm A# C
And think an awful lot before I speak

[Chorus]
F A# F
Many are the musings of my shy heart
A# F Gm A#
Though precious few are spoken out aloud
C F A#
How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style
A# G C
And send them out like magic through the crowd
Dm A# C
Then everyone would listen and I wouldn’t be afraid
Dm G
I wouldn’t shrink away and disappear
A# C F A#
I don’t want them to worship me or care that much at all
Gm A# C
I only want to know they know I’m here
Gm C F
I only want to know they know I’m here
