The Beating of Another Heart - Graham Parker

G d She comes from the hardest town

Em bm c They build you up to let you down and

D em g bm d Leave you with an armour hard as steel

G d It’s not the chaos or the heat

Em bm c Or the noises from the street but

Something inside she has to beat that

Em bm em bm Shoots out a nerve causes judgements to swerve

C g d And makes her feel that something must be wrong

Em bm She’ll attempt to resist

C g d And pretend it don’t exist when it does

C d But if ever her defence drop

C d Love takes a shot pop

C d Baby you can’t stop
