[Verse 1]
E
Cadillac smiles in the ladies' styles
A                            E           A
In this world, they ain't no part of me
  E
A hundred dollar bill can cure your ills
A                             E          A
in this world but it ain't no good to me
        E
You see money and clothes are easily burned
A                                  E      A
People and cars are easily turned around
    F#m                           G#m               C#m
I'm looking for something that'll last me all of my life
    F#m               B
I'm listening for the sound


[Chorus]
N.C.             E
I wanna hear her heartbeat
       A              E           A
In the darkness every night of my life
               E
I wanna hear a heartbeat
       A        B         E
In the darkness   next to mine

[Verse 2]
  E
A woman trying to find a diamond mine
A                           E          A
Ain't my kind, she ain't no use to me
  E
A big estate with a wrought-iron gate
  A                                  E        A
A mansion on the hill, ain't where I wanna be
        E
You see without love a house ain't a home
  A                                  E             A
A diamond ain't no more than a stone in the ground
         F#m            G#m                 C#m
I'd give ev'ry material thing I own in this life
   F#m                   B
If I could just hear the sound


[Chorus]
N.C. E
Of a heartbeat
       A              E           A
In the darkness every night of my life
               E
I wanna hear a heartbeat
       A        B         E
In the darkness   next to mine


[Instrumental]

E       A
F#m G#m C#m F#m B


[Chorus]
N.C.             E
I wanna hear her heartbeat
       A              E           A
In the darkness every night of my life
               E
I wanna hear a heartbeat
       A        B         E     A
In the darkness   next to mine


[Outro]
               E          A
I wanna hear a heartbeat
               E          A
I wanna hear a heartbeat
               E          A
I wanna hear a heartbeat...
E   A
