B
It was a difficult decision
                              D#m   F#   
But every drop of water was a lake, oh
                B
And I guess I had a vision
                       D#m    E
Of every unavoidable mistake, oh

                     B
Though I never had a white flag
                                D#m    F#
I surrendered you my every vital sign, oh
                        B
But the thing about the heart is
                                   D#m      E
It beats with no instruction from the mind, oh
 
[Chorus]
     C#m                                                B
You came into the kitchen and you laid me on the table like a meal
E              
I won't recover in a heartbeat
E                                       B
You could hammer a nail with the way I feel

[Verse]
                           B 
You won't find us in the Bible
                                D#m    F#
But the story's parabolic at the core
                       B
I'm just singing this recital
                             D#m               E 
In the hope that they might one day find a cure
                    B 
And our bodily components
                                       D#m    F#
And everyone that knows them came from stars, oh
                     B
But the thing about the mind is
                                D#m    E
It has no consideration for the heart, oh

[Chorus]
C#m                                                           B
You came into the kitchen and you laid me on the table like a meal 
E 
I won't recover in a heartbeat
E                                        B
You could hammer a nail with the way I feel
C#m  
And maybe I'm a naysayer 
                                B
And probably the best is yet to come
E 
I will recover in a heartbeat
E                                       B
I'll be born again with the morning sun
