The Beating Of Another Heart

Pre>intro g em bm g c d

G d

She comes from the hardest town

Em bm c

They build you up to let you down and

D em g bm d

Leave you with an armour hard as steel

G d

It's not the chaos or the heat

Em bm c

Or the noises from the street but

D

Something inside she has to beat that

Em bm em bm

Shoots out a nerve causes judgements to swerve

C g d

And makes her feel that something must be wrong

Em bm

She'll attempt to resist

And pretend it don't exist when it does

C d

But if ever her defence drop

Love takes a shot pop

All the steps we seem to take

Are sometimes stairways to escape from

Em g bm d

All the things that were supposed to come

G d

And there's a threat when letting go

Em bm c

Showing things she'll never show but

As I ask friend how on earth can I send

A little bit of me to her
