Heartbeat and Sails Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Sco[C]op [D]my [C]bra[G]ins
and let my heart have action
In its [C]thousand [D]million [G]lots,
In the dumb city dawn I am
senseless and drawn [C]to the sun
As [D]the blackbirds and the
[G]top[D]pyknots.

[Verse 2]
And in [Em]biting down [D]on the great foam world
[G]What is the looming thi[C]ng?
Not money, not flesh, [D]not happiness,
[C]But this, which [D]makes [C]me [G]sing.

[Verse 3]
[D]O s[G]coop my brains and
let my heart have action
In its [C]thousand [D]million [G]lots,
And feel the subterranean
movement a fraction
And [C]deep under ocean,
[D]the celibate roc[G]ks.[D]

[Verse 4]
Has it [Em]borne me down?
Has it [D]run me through?
If I [G]give it a name do I [C]contract it too?
More likely this thing
has been [D]growing in me,
Like [Em]I hav[C]e gr[D]own in you[G].

[Verse 5]
[G]Scoop my brains and let my
heart have action
In its [F]thousand [D]million [G]lots,
In the dumb city dawn we dispense
with the forlorn [F]beasts
That we were [C]in [D]the night,
grown lean on [G]love.[D]

[Verse 6]
A [Em]love which will pierce and
[D]callous and [G]tumesce,
O upon the birth oath [C]the morbid bloom
Is a child's sense of im[D]pending doom

[Verse 7]
In a [F]womb that is [D]am [G]bushed,
[D]In a [F]womb that is [D]ambushed.
[G]In [D]bit[Em]ing down on the[D]
great foam world,
[G]What is the [C]looming thing?

[Verse 8]
Not [C]money, not flesh, [D]not happiness,
But [F]this, [C]which mak[D]es me sin[G]g.[D]
Not [Em]money, not flesh, [D]not happiness,
[F]But [C]this, [D]which makes me [G]sing.[C]
