Em D
Why does it take a tragedy to make
Am C
Our true colors come out?
Em
We only feel the life in our limbs
D
And a heartbeat beneath the skin
Am C
When time is runnin' out
[Pre-Chorus]
G
But there's love in pain
Em
And comfort in
D C D
Suffering, feels familiar and
C G
Just like a stranger's touch
Em
We've yet to trust
D C
Reaching out to feel
D C
Something real before we turn to dust
[Chorus]
Em G Am C
Every human has a billion heartbeats
Em G
So why do we lie and cheat 'till we're old?
Am C
And time is up on Earth?
Em G Am C
Every human has a billion heartbeats
Am G
So why do we only speak
Am C C
In the cold silence between our words?
[Verse 2]
Em D
Trapped halfway between wanting to be brave
Am C C
And feeling scared, we'll only stand and stare
Am
What difference will it make picking up the pieces
D Am C C
As another lonely heart breaks, but don't despair
[Pre-Chorus]
G
'Cause there's love in pain
Em
And comfort in
D C D
Suffering, feels familiar and
C G
Just like a stranger's touch
Em
We've yet to trust
D C
Reaching out to feel
D C
Something real before we turn to dust
[Chorus]

Every human has a billion heartbeats
