[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 :)
