A Billion Heartbeats

               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                           
     Every human has a billion 
Am   C
heartbeats
   Em     G
So why do we lie and cheat 'till 
we're old?
    Am      C
And time is up on Earth?
Em G                           
     Every human has a billion 
Am   C
heartbeats
   Am     G
So why do we only speak
            Am        C       
In the cold silence between our 
        C
words?


[Verse 2]
            Em                     
Trapped halfway between wanting to 
        D
be brave
            Am                 C  
And feeling scared, we'll only 
             C
stand and stare
                        Am
What difference will it make picking
 up the pieces
    D             Am              
As another lonely heart breaks, 
  C             C
but don't despair

           Em                     G
So how do I, do I sleep, do I lie?
             Am             Em
Lie and cheat, though I try, I can't
 speak
