Verse 1:
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 -x2-
D     Em        Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh 
 
This is the beat of my heart -x2-
 
Pre-Chorus:
 
    G                  A7   
The gnashing teeth and criminal tongues 
    G                G6  
conspire against the odds 
         Gbm7             D             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 -x2-
D     Em        Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh 
 
This is the beat of my heart -x2-
 
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 -x2-
D     Em        Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh 
 
This is the beat of my heart -x2-
 
Pre-Chorus:
      G                        A7   
Don’t try to sleep through the end of the world 
    G        G6  
and bury me alive 
         Gbm7              D            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 
 
This is the beat of my heart
 
This is the beat of my heart
 
The fear of falling apart
