[Verse 1]
D Em Bm
This is gospel for the fallen ones
locked away in permanent slumber
D Em Bm
Assembling their philosophies
from pieces of broken memories
D Em Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
This is the beat of my heart (2X)
D Em Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
This is the beat of my heart (2X)
[Pre-chorus]
G
The gnashing teeth and criminal tongues
conspire against the odds
F#m A
but they haven’t seen the best of us yet
[Chorus]
D Em Bm
If you love me, let me go
D Em Bm
If you love me, let me go
G D
Cause these words are knives that often leave scars
A Bm
The fear of falling apart
G D
And truth be told I never was yours
A
The fear, The fear of falling apart
D Em Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
This is the beat of my heart (2X)
D Em Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
This is the beat of my heart (2X)
[Verse 2]
D Em Bm
This is gospel for the vagabonds,
ne’re-do-wells and insufferable bastards
D Em Bm
Confessing their apostasies
led away by imperfect impostors
D Em Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
This is the beat of my heart (2X)
D Em Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
This is the beat of my heart (2X)
[Pre-chorus]
G
Don’t try to sleep through the end of the world
and bury me alive
F#m A
‘cause I won’t give up without a fight
[Chorus]
D Em Bm
If you love me, let me go
D Em Bm
If you love me, let me go
G D
Cause these words are knives that often leave scars
A Bm
The fear of falling apart
G D
And truth be told I never was yours
A
The fear, The fear of falling apart
G D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
A Bm
The fear of falling apart
G D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
A Bm
The fear, the fear of falling apart
D Em Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
This is the beat of my heart
This is the beat of my heart
The fear of falling apart
(4X)
End with a D :)
