Lyrics

When the (Db)beat drops out

and the (Fm)peo ple gone

we (Eb)still be there, still be there for (Db)me child.

And when the (Bbm)lights go out

and the (Fm)morn ing comes

we (Eb)still be there, still be there for (Db)me child.

When the beat drops out… (Fm)Life, hap pens when you’re mak ing plans, fly ing high and shak ing hands,

the (Bbm)song will write you, you don’t write it.

(Fm)I, did n’t mean to fall in love, was rhy thm that cre at ed us

I was run ning, we col lid ed.

(Db)Base line, I will al ways (Bbm)make time I just wan na (Fm)know that feel ing’s in your (Eb)heart for me.

(Db)Base line, af ter all the (Fm)great times, I just wan na (Eb)know that feel ing’s in your heart…

When the (Db)beat drops out

and the (Fm)peo ple gone,

we (Eb)still be there, still be there for (Db)me child.

And when the (Bbm)lights go out

and the (Fm)mor ning comes

we (Eb)still be there, still be there for (Db)me child.

When the (Bbm)beat drops out

and the (Fm)peo ple gone

we (Eb)still be there, still be there for (Db)me child.

And when the (Bbm)lights go out

and the (Fm)morn ing comes

we (Eb)still be there, still be there for (Db)me child.

When the beat drops out… With (Fm)you, I found a new way to I see an al ter na tive,

now we start ed, we can stop it.

I, I

last thing I was think ing of

was you and me but,

(Db)Base line, I will al ways (Bbm)make time I just wan na (Fm)know that feel ing’s in your (Eb)heart for me.

(Db)Base line, af ter all the (Fm)great times, I just wan na (Eb)know that feel ing’s in your heart…

When the (Db)beat drops out

and the (Fm)peo ple gone,

we (Eb)still be there, still be there for (Db)me child.

And when the (Bbm)lights go out

and the (Fm)mor ning comes

we (Eb)still be there, still be there for (Db)me child.

When the (Bbm)beat drops out

and the (Fm)peo ple gone

we (Eb)still be there, still be there for (Db)me child.

And when the (Bbm)lights go out

and the (Fm)morn ing comes

we (Eb)still be there, still be there for (Db)me child.

When the beat drops out… With When the beat drops out…
