Song: 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
C g d
And pretend it don't exist when it does
C d
But if ever her defence drop
C d
Love takes a shot pop
C d
Baby you can't stop

The beating of another heart
Em c
The beating of another heart yeah
D em d g
Sometimes she needs the beating of another heart
Em bm g c d
(just chords)
G d
All the steps we seem to take
Em bm c d
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
D
I won't give in now I know
Em bm em bm
As I ask friend how on earth can I send
C g d
A little bit of me to her
Em bm
She'll attempt to resist
C g d
And pretend I don't exist when I do
C d
But if ever her defence drop
C d
Love takes a shot pop

Baby you can't stop
