Lyrics The Beating of Another Heart - Graham Parker

The Beating of Another Heart

G d She comes from the hardest town
Em bm c They build you up to let you down and
D em g bm d Leave you with an armour hard as steel
G d It’s not the chaos or the heat
Em bm c Or the noises from the street but
Something inside she has to beat that
Em bm em bm Shoots out a nerve causes judgements to swerve
C g d And makes her feel that something must be wrong
Em bm She’ll attempt to resist
C g d And pretend it don’t exist when it does
C d But if ever her defence drop
C d Love takes a shot pop
C d Baby you can’t stop
The beating of another heart
Em c The beating of another heart yeah
D em d g Sometimes she needs the beating of another heart
Em bm g c d
(just chords)
G d All the steps we seem to take
Em bm c d Are sometimes stairways to escape from
Em g bm d All the things that were supposed to come
G d And there’s a threat when letting go Em bm c Showing things she’ll never show but
I won’t give in now i know
Em bm em bm As i ask friend how on earth can i send
C g d A little bit of me to her
Em bm She’ll attempt to resist
C g d And pretend i don’t exist when i do
C d But if ever her defence drop
C d Love takes a shot pop
C d Baby you can’t stop
The beating of another heart
Em c The beating of another heart yeah
D em d em d Sometimes she needs the beating of another heart
C# d a The pounding goes on forever
C# d a At night when we are here together
C# d a d They say that people get too clever for love
Em c But i know
C d But if ever her defence drop
C d Love takes a shot pop
C d Baby you can’t stop
The beating of another heart
Em c The beating of another heart yeah
D em d g Sometimes she needs the beating of another heart
D g d c She needs the beating of another heart
D g d em bm g c d She needs the beating of another h-e-a-r-t
Fade on em g /pre>
