D              Em
This is gospel for the fallen ones
Bm
Locked away in permanent slumber
D             Em
Assembling their philosophies
Bm
From pieces of broken memories

D     Em      Bm
Oh-oh oh oh ohh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
D     Em      Bm
Oh-oh oh oh ohh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
G                                        G
The gnashing teeth and criminal tongues conspire against the odds
F#m                            A
But they haven’t seen the best of us yet

[Chorus]
                     D   Em   Bm
If you love me let me go
                     D   Em   Bm
If you love me let me go
G                             D              
‘Cause these words are knives and often leave scars
A           Bm
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 ohh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
D     Em      Bm
Oh-oh oh oh ohh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

[Verse 2]
D              Em
This is gospel for the vagabonds,
Bm
Ne'er-do-wells and insufferable bastards
D              Em
Confessing their apostasies
Bm
Led away by imperfect impostors

D     Em      Bm
Oh-oh oh oh ohh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
D     Em      Bm
Oh-oh oh oh ohh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

[Bridge]
G
Don’t try to sleep through the end of the world
G
And bury me alive
F#m                    A
'Cause I won’t give up without a fight

[Chorus]
                     D   Em   Bm
If you love me let me go
                     D   Em   Bm
If you love me let me go
G                             D              
‘Cause these words are knives and often leave scars
A                  Bm
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 ohh, the fear of falling apart
D     Em      Bm
Oh-oh oh oh ohh, the fear, the fear of falling apart

[Outro]
 D     Em      Bm
(Oh-oh oh oh ohh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart)
The fear of falling apart
D     Em      Bm
(Oh-oh oh oh ohh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart)
The fear of falling apart
D     Em      Bm
(Oh-oh oh oh ohh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart)
The fear of falling apart
D     Em      Bm
(Oh-oh oh oh ohh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart)
The fear of falling apart
