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
