Lyrics

“Chil dren be (Bm)have.”

That’s what they say when we’re to geth er.

“And watch how you (Bm)play.”

They don’t un der stand.

And so we’re (Bm)run ning just as fast as we (G)can,

(Bm)hold ing on to one an oth er’s (G)hand,

(F)try ing to get a way in to the night.

And then you (D7)put your arms a round me as we tum ble to the ground.

And then you (G)say, “I think we’re a lone now.

There (C)does n’t seem to be an y (G)one a round.

I think we’re a lone now.

The (C)beat ing of the hearts is the (G)on ly sound.”

Look at the (Bm)way

we got ta hide when what we’re do in’,

’cause what would they (Bm)say

if they nev er knew?

And so we’re (Bm)run ning just as fast as we (G)can,

(Bm)hold ing on to one an oth er’s (G)hand,

(F)try ing to get a way in to the night.

And then you (D7)put your arms a round me as we tum ble to the ground.

And then you (G)say, “I think we’re a lone now.

There (C)does n’t seem to be an y (G)one a round.

I think we’re a lone now.

The (C)beat ing of the hearts is the (G)on ly sound.”

“I think we’re a lone now.

The (C)beat ing of the hearts is the (G)on ly sound.”

“I think we’re a lone now.

The (C)beat ing of the hearts is the (G)on ly sound.”
