Last Beat Of My Heart
View chords used in this chart
C
In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
Am
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
F
Its thorn my only delight
War torn, afraid to speak
C
We dare to breathe
Majestic, Imperial,
A bridge of sighs
Am
Solitude sails
In a wave of forgiveness
C
On angels' wings
Reach out your hands
Don't turn your back
Am
Don't walk away
F
How in the world
Fm
Can I wish for this?
C C7
Never to be torn apart
F
Close to you
Fm C
'Til the last beat
Of my heart
C
At the close of day
The sunset cloaks
Am
These words in shadowplay
F
Here and now, long and loud
C
My heart cries out
Am
And the naked bone of an echo says
C
Don't walk away
F Fm
Reach out your hands
C C7
I'm just a step away
F
How in the world
Fm
Can I wish for this?

Of my heart

How in the world

Can I wish for this?
