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
