This Is Gospel

D             Em              Bm
This is gospel for the fallen ones
                            A
locked away in permanent slumber
D             Em             Bm
Assembling their philosophies
                        A
from pieces of broken memories

D     Em        Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

This is the beat of my heart (2X)
D     Em        Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

This is the beat of my heart (2X)



[Pre-chorus]

    G/B                A7/C#
The gnashing teeth and criminal tongues
    G                G6/9
conspire against the odds
         F#m7             D/F#          A
but they haven’t seen the best of us yet



[Chorus]

                        D Em Bm
If you love me, let me go
                 A      D Em Bm
If you love me, let me go

A            G                      D
 Cause these words are knives that often leave scars

A               Bm      A
 The fear of falling apart
    G                 D
And truth be told I never was yours
A
 The fear, The fear of falling apart

D     Em        Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

This is the beat of my heart (2X)
D     Em        Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

This is the beat of my heart (2X)



[Verse 2]

D            Em               Bm
This is gospel for the vagabonds,
                                 A
ne’re-do-wells and insufferable bastards
D             Em          Bm
Confessing their apostasies
                         A
led away by imperfect impostors

D     Em        Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

This is the beat of my heart (2X)
D     Em        Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

This is the beat of my heart (2X)



[Pre-chorus]

      G/B                      A7/C#
Don’t try to sleep through the end of the world
    G        G6/9
and bury me alive

         F#m7              D/F#         A
‘cause I won’t give up without a fight



[Chorus]

                        D Em Bm
If you love me, let me go
                 A      D Em Bm
If you love me, let me go

A            G                      D
  Cause these words are knives that often leave scars
A               Bm      A
 The fear of falling apart
    G                 D
And truth be told I never was yours
A
 The fear, The fear of falling apart

G           D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
A           Bm
The fear of falling apart
G             D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
A            Bm
The fear, the fear of falling apart

D     Em        Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
