[Verse]
D
This is gospel for the fallen ones
locked away in permanent slumber
D E G
Assembling their philosophy
from pieces of broken memories
D A
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
E
This is the beat of my heart
E G
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
G A
Gnashing teeth and criminal tongues
D G
conspire against the odds
E G
but they haven't seen the best of us yet
D A E
If you love me, let me go
D A E
If you love me, let me go
D
These words are knives and often leave scars
A
for fear of falling apart
G
And truth be told I never was yours
A
for fear for fear of falling apart
D A
Oh oh oh oh oh
E
This is the beat of my heart
E G
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
D
This is gospel for the vagabonds,
ne're-do-wells and insufferable bastards
D E G
Confessing their prophecies
led away by imperfect impostors
D A
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
E
This is the beat of my heart
E G
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
G A
Don't try and sleep through the end of the world
D G
and bury me alive
E G
'cause I won't give up without a fight
D A E
If you love me, let me go
D A E
If you love me, let me go
D
Cause these words are knives and often leave scars
A
for fear of falling apart
G
And truth be told I never was yours
A
for fear for fear of falling apart
D A
Oh oh oh oh oh
E
This is the beat of my heart
E G
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
