View chords used in this chart
Em
My mind is a warrior
Am
My heart is a foreigner
C B
My eyes are the colour of red like a sunset
 
Em
I'll never keep it bottled up
Am
And left to the hands of the coroner
C
Be a true heart not a follower
B
We're not done yet
 
Em
And I see it in your movements tonight
Am
If we should ever do this right
C
I'm never gonna let you down
B
I'll never let you down
 
Em
And I'm keeping on the down low
Am
And I'll keep you around so I'll know
C
That I'll never let you down
B
I'll never let you down
 
Em
You're strumming on my heart strings
G
Like you were a grade 8
C B
But I've never felt this way
Em G
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground
C B
And never ever let you down, now
 
Em
You're strumming on my heart strings
G
Like you were a grade 8
C B
But I've never felt this way
Em G
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground
C B
And never ever let you down, now
 
Em
My eyes are a river filler
Am
This drink is a liver killer
C B
My chest is a pillow for your weary head to lay to rest again
 
Em
Your body is my ballpoint pen
Am
And your mind is my new best friend
C B
Your eyes are the mirror to take me to the edge again, now
 
Em
And I see it in your movements tonight
Am
If we should ever do this right
C
I'm never gonna let you down
B
I'll never let you down

I'll keep it on the down low
Am
And I'll keep you around so I'll know

That I'll never let you down

I'll never let you down

Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now
And I'll never let you down
