Chorus:
Dm
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
      Dm                       G
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?
      Dm                     G
I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly
         F                                Am
There's something beating here inside my body
                  Dm
And it's called a heart

           Gm
There's a sun shining in the sky
     Dm
But that's not the reason why
                    Gm
I'm feeling warm inside
    Dm
The answer isn't classified; it's my heart

From the moment I started
I tried to be good about it
Yes, I've tried my best
And more or less, I spoke from my heart

C
There's a lot to be learned
         A#
And you learn when your heart gets burnt

Chorus:
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?
I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart

Hearts can never be owned
Hearts only come on loan
If I want it back
I will take it back, I'll take my heart

But I will try my best
And more or less, I will speak from my heart
Yes, I will speak from my heart
Speak from my heart

There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned

There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned
There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned

Chorus:
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?
I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?
I'll lend it to you if you treat it...
