[Verse 1]
D Em Bm
This is gospel for the fallen ones
A
locked away in permanent slumber
D Em Bm
Assembling their philosophies
A
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/B A7/C#
The gnashing teeth and criminal tongues
G G6/9
conspire against the odds
F#m7 D/F# A
but they haven’t seen the best of us yet
[Chorus]
D Em Bm
If you love me, let me go
A D Em Bm
If you love me, let me go
A G D
Cause these words are knives that often leave scars
A Bm A
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,
A
ne’re-do-wells and insufferable bastards
D Em Bm
Confessing their apostasies
A
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/B A7/C#
Don’t try to sleep through the end of the world
G G6/9
and bury me alive
F#m7 D/F# A
‘cause I won’t give up without a fight
[Chorus]
D Em Bm
If you love me, let me go
A D Em Bm
If you love me, let me go
A G D
Cause these words are knives that often leave scars
A Bm A
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 :)
