The Beating Of Another Heart Lyrics

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

G
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
C	  d
Baby you can’t stop

G
The beating of another heart
Em	  c
The beating of another heart yeah
D		em   d	  em	 d
Sometimes she needs the beating of another heart

C#		d	  a
The pounding goes on forever
C#		  d		   a
At night when we are here together
C#		   d		   a 	 d
They say that people get too clever for love

Em		 c
But I know

Solo

C	   d
But if ever her defence drop
C	   d
Love takes a shot pop
C	  d
Baby you can’t stop

G
The beating of another heart
