Gm  A#
My mind is a warrior,
D#  D7
My heart is a foreigner,
Gm  A#
My eyes are the colour of
D#          D7
Red like a sunset,
Gm    A#
I'll never keep it bottled up,
D#          D7
Left to the hands of the coroner,
Gm         A#
Be a true heart not a follower,
D#         D7
We're not done yet now,

Chorus:
Gm                A#
I see it in your movements tonight,
D#                D7
If we should ever do this right,
Gm               A#
I'm never gonna let you down,
D#             D7
Oh I'll never let you down,
Gm                  A#
Now keep it on the down low
D#                  D7
And I'll keep you around so I'll know,
Gm               A#
That I'll never let you down,
D#         D7
I'll never let you down.

          Gm                          A#
You're strumming on my heart strings like
                 D#
you were a grade 8 but I never
           D7
felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of the
ground and never ever let you down,

You're strumming on my heart strings like
you were a grade 8 but I never
felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of
the ground and never ever let you down,

Now, my eyes are a river filler,
This drink is a liver killer,
My chest is a pillow for your weary
head to lay to rest again,
Your body is my ballpoint pen
And your mind is my new best friend,
Your eyes are the mirror to take me
to the edge again,

Chorus

You're strumming on my heart strings like
you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of the
ground and never ever let you down,
You're strumming on my heart strings like
you were a grade 8 but I've never
felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of
the ground and never ever let you down,

Gm       A#       D#        D7
Hold my heart to stop me bleeding
 Gm   A#   D#                          D7
now, now, now, and I'll never let you down - x4

You're strumming on my heart strings like
you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of the
ground and never ever let you down,
You're strumming on my heart strings like
you were a grade 8 but I've never
felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of
the ground and never ever let you down,
