BeStillMyBeatingHeart

Am7
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
             D            E
I've been to every single book I know
   F(add9)                  D/F#             G
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so _____

Dm7                           Em
Sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
   F                      G
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Dm7                  Em
Stop before you start _____
Am7
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
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

C
Never to be wrong
Am7                 F
Never to make promises that break
G
It's like singing in the wind
Am7                 F
Or writing on the surface of a lake
      Am
And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land
                           D/A
Struggle to avoid any help at hand

Dm7                           Em
Sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
   F                      G
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Dm7                  Em
Stop before you start _____
Am7
Be still my beating heart
