Broke into her house, saw her sitting there Drinking coke and whiskey in her bra and underwear Saw him in the kitchen, hanging up the phone I asked him nicely once to pack his things and go He gave her a reassuring look, said he wouldn't leave But I asked him one more time, this time pulled out my shiv Stuck him in the back and I pulled it out slow And I watched him fall down, and as the morning sun rose He looked at me and said "You missed my heart, you missed my heart You got me good, I knew you would But you missed my heart, you missed my heart" Were his last words before he died Looking out the window, up at the blue sky Listening to her scream, listening to her cry A feeling of relief came over my soul I couldn't take it any longer and I lost control I chased her up the stairs and I pinned her to the ground And underneath her whimpering I could hear the sirens sound I rattled off a list of all the things I missed Like going to the movies with her and the way she kissed me Driving into downtown Wheeling, showing her off Backyard barbecues and reunions in the park I said I missed her skin and when she started laughing And while I clenched down on her wrist, she said "that's quite a list But there's one thing you missed "You missed my heart, you missed my heart That's quite a list, but what you really missed You missed my heart, you missed my heart That's quite a list, but what you really missed" Running through the parking lot, running through the fields Policemen on my back, something hit my skull and cracked They dragged me off to jail, set a million dollar bail Where I tried to tie a noose, but I failed and I broke loose I went racing through the prison yard, shot down by a tower guard He got me in the shins, and he got me in the arms They strapped me in the gurney, took me off to the infirmary Where the priest read my last rites And just before, everything went dark I said: "He missed my heart, he missed my heart He got me good, I knew he would But he missed my heart, he missed my heart" And just before, everything went dark The most poetic dream came flowing like the sea Laying there my lifeblood draining out of me A childhood scene, night sky moon beams Fishing with my friends sitting in the wild reeds Watching the Ohio river flow at night Waiting for the bullhead catfishes to bite Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard

Broke into her house, saw her sitting there
Drinking coke and whiskey in her bra and underwear
Saw him in the kitchen, hanging up the phone
I asked him nicely once to pack his things and go
He gave her a reassuring look, said he wouldn't leave
But I asked him one more time, this time pulled out my shiv
Stuck him in the back and I pulled it out slow
And I watched him fall down, and as the morning sun rose
He looked at me and said
"You missed my heart, you missed my heart
You got me good, I knew you would
But you missed my heart, you missed my heart"
Were his last words before he died
Looking out the window, up at the blue sky
Listening to her scream, listening to her cry
A feeling of relief came over my soul
I couldn't take it any longer and I lost control
I chased her up the stairs and I pinned her to the ground
And underneath her whimpering I could hear the sirens sound
I rattled off a list of all the things I missed
Like going to the movies with her and the way she kissed me
Driving into downtown Wheeling, showing her off
Backyard barbecues and reunions in the park
I said I missed her skin and when she started laughing
And while I clenched down on her wrist, she said "that's quite a list
But there's one thing you missed
"You missed my heart, you missed my heart
That's quite a list, but what you really missed
You missed my heart, you missed my heart
That's quite a list, but what you really missed"
Running through the parking lot, running through the fields
Policemen on my back, something hit my skull and cracked
They dragged me off to jail, set a million dollar bail
Where I tried to tie a noose, but I failed and I broke loose
I went racing through the prison yard, shot down by a tower guard
He got me in the shins, and he got me in the arms
They strapped me in the gurney, took me off to the infirmary
Where the priest read my last rites
And just before, everything went dark
I said: "He missed my heart, he missed my heart
He got me good, I knew he would
But he missed my heart, he missed my heart"
And just before, everything went dark
The most poetic dream came flowing like the sea
Laying there my lifeblood draining out of me
A childhood scene, night sky moon beams
Fishing with my friends sitting in the wild reeds
Watching the Ohio river flow at night
Waiting for the bullhead catfishes to bite
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard
Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard

Do you know where I can find the sheet music?
