Tom: Am7

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(9)                  D/F#         G
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so 
Dm7                             Em
I 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
             D            E
I've been to every single book I know
   F(9)                  D/F#         G
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so
Dm7 Em F G

Dm7                      Em
   Stop before you start
                   Am7
Be still my beating heart 
C
  Never to be wrong
Am7                   F
  Never to make promises that break
C
  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
I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
   F                      G
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Dm7
  Stop before you start
Em                   Am7
  Be still my beating heart
