Capo on 1st fret
               
 
Intro: Em D C 
 
Verse 1: 
 
Em 
Walking out in to the dark,  
 
cutting out a different path, 
C                  G 
lead by a beating heart 
 
 
Em 
All the people of the town 
 
cast their eyes right to the ground 
   C               G    
in matters of the heart 
 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
 
    C                 G  
The night was all you had 
                  
                 D                  Em     
you ran into the night from all you had 
 
                 C             G  
Found yourself a path upon the ground 
 
             D                  G 
ran into the night you can't be found 
 
 
 
D            Em   
This is your heart 
         C                G 
can you feel it? can you feel it? 
D                  Em 
Pumps through your veins 
         C               G   
Can you feel it? can you feel it? 
 
 
Em 
 
Verse 2: 
 
Em 
Summer evening breeze is blue 
 
drawing voices deep from you 
C                G  
led by a beating heart 
 
 
Em 
What a year and what a night 
 
What terrifying final sights 
C                     G 
Pull out your beating heart 
 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
 
    C                 G  
The night was all you had 
                  
                 D                  Em     
you ran into the night from all you had 
 
                 C             G  
Found yourself a path upon the ground 
 
             D                  G 
ran into the night you can't be found 
 
 
 
D            Em   
This is your heart 
         C                G 
can you feel it? can you feel it? 
D                  Em 
Pumps through your veins 
         C               G   
Can you feel it? can you feel it? 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
C               D   
If you had your gun  
           Em             D  
Would you shoot it at the sky? 
        C                  D 
Why? To see where it would fall 
   Em                     D 
Oh will you come down at all? 
 
 
C               D   
If you had your gun  
           Em             D  
Would you shoot it at the sky? 
        C                  D 
Why? To see where your bullet would fall 
   C                     D 
Oh will you come down at all? 
 
 
D            Em   
This is your heart 
         C                G 
can you feel it? can you feel it? 
D                  Em 
Pumps through your veins 
         C               G   
Can you feel it? can you feel it? 
 
D            Em   
This is your racing heart 
         C                G 
can you feel it? can you feel it? 
D                  Em 
Pumps through your veins 
         C               G   
Can you feel it? can you feel it?
