Em
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
D
i swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
Em
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
D
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
Em
Louder than sirens
C
Louder than bells
D
Sweeter than heaven
Em C D
And hotter than hell
Em
I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
D
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's beating loud and clear
Em
Louder than sirens
C
Louder than bells
D
Sweeter than heaven
Em C D
And hotter than hell
Em
louder than sirens
C
Louder than bells
D
Sweeter than heaven
Em C D
And hotter than hell
Em
Louder than sirens
C
Louder than bells
D
Sweeter than heaven
Em C D
And hotter than hell
Em C
As I move my feet towards your body
D Em
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
C D
And gets louder and louder
Em C D
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
Em D Em D
I run to the river and dive straight in
Em D Em D
I pray that the water will drown out the din
Em
But as the water fills my mouth
C D
It couldn't wash the echoes out
Em
But as the water fills my mouth
C D
It couldn't wash the echoes out
Em C D
I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Em C D
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
Em C D
As empty as that beating drum
Em C D Em C D
But the sound has just be-gun
Em C
As I move my feet towards your body
D Em
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
C D
And gets louder and louder
Em C D
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
