Cross My Heart

by Bruce Springsteen

>From the Album "Human Touch"

Chords: E A B

I find that using the B chord above is better than the full barre

chord in the seventh fret. It gives the song a chunkier sound,

but of course, do what feels and sounds best to you.

E

First time I crossed my heart I was beggin' baby please

At your bedside Down on my knees

A

When I crossed my heart

E

When I crossed my heart

B E

I crossed my heart Pretty baby over you

E

Second time I crossed my heart rain came in from the south

I was lyin' there with somethin' sweet and salty in my mouth

A

When I crossed my heart

E

When I crossed my heart

B E

I crossed my heart pretty darlin' over you

A

Well you may think the world is black and white

E

And you're dirty or you're clean

A

You better watch out you don't slip

B

Through those spaces in between

E

Where the night gets sticky and the sky turns black

I grabbed you baby and you grabbed me back

A

And we crossed our hearts

E

We crossed our hearts

B E

Yeah I crossed my heart ..........

Repeat chords twice

A

Well little boys little girls

E

Hell they know their wrongs from their rights

A

And once you cross your heart

B

You ain't never supposed to lie

E

Well life ain't nothing but a cold hard ride

I ain't leavin' 'till I'm satisfied

A

I cross my heart

E

Yeah I cross my heart

B E

Well I cross m y heart pretty darlin' over you

Repeat chords a couple of time. ooooooo, and fade
