Em
[Verse 1]
C G
Well I had loved you for so long
Em G
I have no memory of falling so long now
C Em
It feels that we have never been apart
G
I hear you have a world away
Em7 C
You know for whom you're calling
G
I'd have said this years ago
C Em
If I'd known where to start
[Chorus]
G
Whoa now, it still beats steady
C Em7
This heart I handed you for free
G
Should you ever need a thing
C
It won't be hard to find me
G
Standing there at the ready
C Em7
With a dance or two still left in me
G
Wager that it won't appear
C Em7 C G C Em7 G C
That I forgot who brought me
[Verse 2]
G
You've torn the place asunder
Em
And you've left the party early
G
Looked at me with tears
C Em
As if a lost and lonely child
G
Your status suits you well
Em C
But do not think that you can fool me
G
This polish and reserve
C Em
Barely hides that you are wild
[Verse 3]
G
And we've echoes off of bar room walls
Em7
And buildings down on Main Street
G
Thought the moon would never set on
C Em
Our back alley Rome
G
In moments I found quality
Em
I thought could not be beaten
G
A thousand person choir
C Em
Has that affection on its own
[Chorus]
G
Oh now, it still beats steady
C Em7
This heart I handed you for free
G
Should you ever need a thing
C
It won't be hard to find me
G
Standing there at the ready
C Em7
With a dance or two still left in me
G
Wager that it won't appear
C
That I forgot who brought me
[Guitar Solo]
G C Em G C
[Verse 4]
G
You kissed me in the parking lot
Em7
I gave you nothing clever
G
Damages and injuries
Em
Were far beyond repair
G
Submitted to the shape of things
C Em7
This time it was forever
G
At an old barroom in Tulsa
C Em
I looked up and you were there
[Chorus]
G
Oh now, it still beats steady
C Em7
This heart I handed you for free
G
Should you ever need a thing
C
It won't be hard to find me
G
Standing there at the ready
C Em7
With a dance or two still left in me
G
Wager that it won't appear
C
That I forgot who brought me
[Outro]
