Rhythm of my heart
C - F - C -
G - C - F - C - G - C - C - Bb - F - C
C - Am
1. Across the street the rivers runs,
C Am
down in the gutter life is slipping
away.
C - Am
Let me still exist in another place,
F G
running down
under cover of a helicopter blade.
C - Am
2. The flames are getting
higher in effigy,
C Am
burning down
the bridges of my memory.
C - Am
Love may still alive somewhere someday,
F G
where
they're downing only deer, a hundred steel towns away.
C F
Oh, the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum,
C G
with the words “I love you” rolling off my tongue.
C F
No, never will I roam, for I know my place is
home,
C
G C
where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing.
C - Am
3. Photographs and kerosene
C Am
light up my darkness, light it
up, light it up.
C Am
I can still feel the touch of
your thin blue jeans,
F G
running down the alley, I've
got my eyes all over you, baby, oh, baby.
+ CHORUS
C - Bb C
- Bb C
- Bb
+ I'll be sailing, oh yeah !
F C
F C
Oh, I've got lightning in my veins,
Am
C
shifting like the handle of a
slot machine.
F C - Dm C
Love may still exist in another place.
Dm
I'm just yanking back the
handle,
G
no expression on my face.
C F
Oh, the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum,
C
G
with the words “I love you” rolling off my
tongue.
C F
No, never will I roam, for I know my place is
home,
C
G C
where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing.
