Rhythm Of My Heart by Rod Stewart
Rhythm Of My Heart
[Intro]
C# F# C# G#
C# F# C# G# C#
C# C# C# B
[Verse 1]
C# A#m
Across the street the river runs
C# A#m
Down in the gutter life is slipping away
C# A#m
Let me still exist in another place
F# G#
Running under cover of a helicopter blade
C# A#m
The flames are getting higher in effigy
C# A#m
Burning down the bridges of my memory
C# A#m
Love may still be alive somewhere someway
F# G#
where they're downing only deer a hundred steel towns away
[Chorus]
C# F#
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
C# G#
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
C# F#
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
C# G# C#
where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
C#
[Verse 2]
C# A#m
Photographs and kerosene
C# A#m
light up my darkness, light it up, light it up
C# A#m
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans
F# G#
Running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you babe
G#
Oh babe
[Chorus]
C# F#
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
C# G#
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
C# F#
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
C# G# C#
where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
[Interlude]
C# B C# B C# B
[Bridge]
F# C#/F D#m C#
Oh I've got lightning in my veins
A#m A#m
shifting like the handle of a slot machine
F# C#/F D#m C#
Love may still exist in another place
D#m
I'm just yanking back the handle
G#
no expression on my face
[Chorus]
C# F#
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
C# G#
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
C# F#
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
C# G# C#
where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
[Chorus]
C# F#
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
C# G#
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
C# F#
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
C# G# C#
where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
[Interlude]
C# B
[Chorus]
(strum each chord once and let ring until the next)
C# F#
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
C# G#
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
C# F#
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
C# G# C#
where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
