The Beating of Another Heart Lyrics

Pre>intro g em bm g c dG 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 steelG 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 thatEm bm em bm
Shoots out a nerve causes judgements to swerve
C g d
And makes her feel that something must be wrongEm bm
She'll attempt to resist
C g d
And pretend it don't exist when it doesC d
But if ever her defence drop

C d
Love takes a shot pop
C d
Baby you can't stopG
The beating of another heart
Em c
The beating of another heart yeah
D em d g
Sometimes she needs the beating of another heartEm 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 comeG 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 knowEm bm em bm
As I ask friend how on earth can I send
C g d
A little bit of me to herEm bm
She'll attempt to resist
C g d
And pretend I don't exist when I doC d
But if ever her defence drop

Love takes a shot pop
