D#m7
There's a beating in your heart
               A#m
that takes you everywhere
              B6      G#m
will take you anywhere
D#m7
You've been reaching in the dark
               A#m7
like there's no one there,
                  B6          G#m C#
You think there's no one there

              B                     D#m7
You've been trying too hard trying to start
          C#
It takes time - don't lose yourself
F#          B                           D#m7
Don't keep fighting your heart, stay as you are
                 C#
Don't change for anyone else

Chorus:
F#                           C#m7
Say it strong, lay it all on me
                  G#m                 B
You don't have to be afraid of what you
think you're not, you'll see
F#                               C#m7
Say it wrong, let the words run free
C#m             G#m                    B
I know what you mean - you'll find someone
who loves you just as much as me

There's a beating in your heart
That takes you everywhere
Can take you anywhere
You're afraid of coming last
You see it everywhere
You think you'll never get there

You've been trying too hard
Trying to start
It takes time, don't lose yourself
Don't keep fighting your heart
Stay as you are
Don't change for anyone else

Chorus

G#m                Bmaj7              D#m
Ooooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooooooh...
         C#
Lay your head on my knees
G#m                Bmaj7              D#m
Ooooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooooooh...
        C#
You can confide in me
G#m                B                  D#m
Ooooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooooooh...
           C#
Close your eyes and be free...
