I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean

   F                      G              Dm

Am/G      Am     Am/G      C
Shattered like a falling glass

I'm not ready to be broken just yet

Be still my beating heart...

C                   Am
  Never to be wrong

Am                F
  Never to make promises that break

C                               Am
  It's like singing in the wind

Am                     F
  Or writing on the surface of a lake

Am                                      Am/G
And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land

Am                          Am/G
And I struggle to avoid any help at hand

  Am          Dm                Em
I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean

   F                      G              Dm
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion

Stop before you start

Be still my beating heart
