A5
Be still my beating heart

It would be better to be cool

It's not time to be open just yet
 
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget

Be still my beating heart

Or I'll be taken for a fool

It's not healthy to run at this pace

The blood runs so red to my face
             D5            E5
I've been to every single book I know
   F5                  D5         G5
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so 
D5                             E5
I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
   F5                      G5
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
D5                      E5
   Stop before you start
                   A5
Be still my beating heart 

Be still my beating heart

You must learn to stand your ground

It's not healthy to run at this pace

The blood runs so red to my face
             D5            E5
I've been to every single book I know
   F5                  D5         G5
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so

D5                      E5
   Stop before you start
                   A5
Be still my beating heart 
C5
  Never to be wrong
A5                   F5
  Never to make promises that break
C5
  It's like singing in the wind
A5                    F5
  Or writing on the surface of a lake
      A5
And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land
                          D5
Struggle to avoid any help at hand 
  D5                           E5
I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
   F5                      G5
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
D5
  Stop before you start
E5                   A5
  Be still my beating heart
