Dm             Am
How`s the heart while it still beats?
G
Asks a no-one
Em
Another John Doe

Am
Sorrow hides well in your shell
                   G
A fellow man with hurt to spare
Dm             Am

          G
An act of kindness

  Dm
Come in, the fire`s warm
         C                   G
Burn the rope and dance some more

Am
We met where the cliff greets the sea
                 G
Shared a story, took the leap
Dm              Am
Rose up rooted, hid a note
  G
You know where
    Em
You`ve been there

Am
Now there`s one who came from me
                   G
A child of light, another tale
  Dm
Dear one
                Am
Night will come but not to stay

Eb           Bb
Fair winds my love
Cm          Gm
Fly towards the calm
Ab          Cm
Fly utterly lost

Towards a beating heart
      Cm
A beating heart
