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
C#BC#BC#B [Bridge]
F# C#/FD#mC# Oh I've got lightning in my veins
A#mA#m shifting like the handle of a slot machine
F#C#/FD#mC# 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
C#B (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#
