Intro:
| Am Am/G Am | Am/G Am Am/G |
| Am Am/G Am | Am/G Am Am/G | Am ...
Be [C]still my beating [Gsus2]heart[Am]
It [Am/G]would be [C]better to be [D]cool
It's not [G]time to be open just [Am]yet
A [Am/G]lesson once [Am]learned is so [Am/G]hard to for[Am]get
Be [C]still my beating [Gsus2]heart[Am]
[Am/G]I'll be [C]taken for a [D]fool
It's not [G]healthy to run at this [Am/G]pace
The [Am]blood runs so [Am/G]red to my f[Am]ace
I've been to [Dsus2]every single [E]book I know
To [F]soothe the thoughts that [Dsus2]plague me soo[Gsus2]ooo...
I sink like a [Am]stone that's been [Em]thrown in the ocean
My [F]logic has drowned in a [G]sea of emotion[Dm]
[Dm]Stop before you [Em]start
Be still my beating [Am]heart

I'm not [Am/G]ready to be broken just [Am]yet
A [Am/G]lesson once [Am]learned is so [G]hard to for[D]get[Am]
Be [C]still my beating [Gsus2]heart[Am]
