Intro-

   Em  G  D  Am



   Em                         G
We threw words like they were sharp knives
             D              Am
Fell like we tripped over a landmine 
            Em
You said we lost love
              G
You made your mind up
           D                  Am
And I just got quiet, my body went numb




    Em                   G
And I pretend that I can handle it 
         D
and if I hold my head up,
        Am
I won't drown
Em
Can't let go,
                G
you're like the chemical, 
              D
you're racing through me
              Am*     Am*     Am*
My heart just pounds, pounds, pounds...




             G                Am
It's getting louder and louder
                   Em                  C
Every time I think about you, about you
                       G                   Am
I'll be better off without you, without you
                         Em
I wish my heart would stop, 
                         C
I wish my heart would stop
           G              Am
Beating me up  (Whoa, oh, whoa)
           Em             C
Beating me up  (Whoa, oh, whoa)
           G*
Beating me up




       Em                 G
You've moved on, I know I should too
            D                       Am
My cuts are all gone, my pain feels brand new
               Em                       G
Who turned the lights down? Who took my flashlight?
            D                         Am        C*
Why does my heart sound like it might burst to--night?




             G                Am
It's getting louder and louder
                   Em                  C
Every time I think about you, about you
                       G                   Am
I'll be better off without you, without you
                         Em
I wish my heart would stop, 
                         C
I wish my heart would stop
           G              Am
Beating me up  (Whoa, oh, whoa)
           Em             C
Beating me up  (Whoa, oh, whoa)
           G             Am
Beating me up (Whoa, oh, whoa)
                      Em
I wish my heart would stop (Whoa, oh, whoa)
                      C
I wish my heart would stop




G           C                        G
 I won't le-et you get the best of me
               Am                Em
Ho--ow'd my heart become my enemy?
           C                        G
I won't le-et you get the best of me
               Am                Em*
Ho--ow'd my heart become my enemy?



(Beating me up, beating me up)

(Beating me up, beating me up)




             G*
It's getting louder (louder)
Am*                 Em*             
Every time I think about you (about you)
C*                         G                  Am
And I'll be better off without you (without you)
                      Em
I wish my heart would stop
                      C*
I wish my heart would stop
           G              Am
Beating me up  (Whoa, oh, whoa)
           Em             C
Beating me up  (Whoa, oh, whoa)
           G                 Am
Beating me up (Whoa, oh, whoa)
                   Em
Wish my heart would  (Whoa, oh, whoa)
                    C
Wish my heart would stop
           G*  Am*  Em*  C*
Beating me up  ..........    Beating me up
