[Intro]
C Am F C
[Verse]
C
Oh our story always starts so promising
C Am
Then something will go awry
F C
Yes something will go awry
C
What began ideal will simmer down to real
Am
And these heights are not quite so high
F C
No these heights are not quite so high
C Am
To what do I choose to bind
F C
To what do I choose to bind
[Chorus]
F C
Will it break or be embraced
Am G
Be it treasured or laid to waste
F C
Be it pleasure or pain I taste
Am
This is my heart
G
This is my heart
F C
Oh
[Instrumental]
C Am F C
[Verse]
C
Now the storm ensues and I am overcome
C Am
Oh to struggle or be subdued
F C
Oh to fight or be left to lose
C
And the choice to leave is mine to give away
C Am
But to what do I hold onto
F C
But to what do I hold onto
C Am
Though in pieces I push on through
F C
Oh to what do I hold onto
[Chorus]
F C
Will it break or be embraced
Am G
Be it treasured or laid to waste
F C
Be it pleasure or pain I taste
Am
This is my heart
G
This is my heart
F C
When the darkness lies in wait
Am G
Or the light promises to break
F C
Be it heaven or hell I face
Am
This is my heart
G
This is my heart
[Bridge]
F
Oh the rush goes
Dm Am
And the flame slows
F
Oh the wear shows
Dm Am
But do we give way
F Dm Am
Oh I can never fathom how I stay
F Dm Am
Oh I can never fathom how I stay
[Instrumental]
F Dm Am (x2)
[Chorus]
F C
Will it break or be embraced
Am G
Be it treasured or laid to waste
F C
Be it pleasure or pain I taste
Am
This is my heart
G
This is my heart
F C
When the darkness lies in wait
Am G
Or the light promises to break
F C
Be it heaven or hell I face
Am
This is my heart
G
This is my heart
