14th Street


____________________ / Rufus Wainwright / / 14th Street / / Want One / /___________________/ Time: shuffled 4/4 Key: Ab major Capo on 1st fret Ab major isn't really a suitable key for guitar, but by using a capo on the 1st fret you can play as if the song was in G major, which is absolutely the most suitable for key for guitar. This tab is actually done in G major then, but after the lyrics I've added the chords in the actual key, Ab major.

Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it? Why'd you have to break all my heart? Couldn't you have saved a minor part? I could have clipped and saved and planted in the garden Damn, you guess I'll have to get a new one I'd love to sit and watch you drink With the reins to the world Gripping a smoke Vaguely missing link Don't ever change, you hungry little bashful hound I got the sheep, poor little Bo Peep Has lost and filed for grounds But why'd you have to break all my heart? Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it? Why'd you have to break all my heart? Couldn't you have saved a minor part? I could have ripped apart and thrown into the river Wonder if there are hearts that will deliver Don't ever change Don't ever worry Because I'm coming back home tomorrow To 14th Street where I won't hurry And where I'll learn how to save, not just borrow And they'll be rainbows And we will finally know Why'd you have to break all my heart? Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it? Why'd you have to break all my heart? Couldn't you have saved a minor part of it?
