Counting Heartbeats

BPM: 101 

Intro:
Am   F 
Am   F 


 
     Am 
This car smells like cigarettes, 
Am                       F    F 
Desert a little bit like you, 
       Am 
I'm 10 minutes outside Birmingham, 
Am                          F              F 
Stop to sleep or maybe just drive through. 
 

 
    C 
I'm racing across the fields, 
         Fmaj7 
Counting heartbeats in the dark, 
Am 
Dragged across this world, 
      C       G      F 
Still looking for my spark, 
F        C        Dm 
Memories flashing by, 
        Am 
And all I can do, 
   G              F    F 
Is sit and wonder why, 
                Am   F 
Wishing I could fly. 
 

 
     Am 
Pass billboards full of smiles, 
Am                    F     F 
Lined along the old concrete, 
      Am 
Ain't seen a car for miles, 
       Am                               F         F 
What I wouldn't do to hear you speak to me again. 
 

 
    C 
I'm racing across the fields, 
         Fmaj7 
Counting heartbeats in the dark, 
Am 
Dragged across this world, 
      C       G      F 
Still looking for my spark, 
F        C        Dm 
Memories flashing by, 
        Am 
And all I can do, 
   G              F    F 
Is sit and wonder why, 
                Am    F 
Wishing I could fly. 
 

Interlude: Am  F 


 
         Am 
Back and forth from town to town, 
  Am               F    F 
I stop but I never stay, 
       Am 
I gone round so many times, 
Am                      F    F 
Wore a hole in this highway. 
 

Outro: 
    C 
I'm racing across the fields, 
         Fmaj7 
Counting heartbeats in the dark, 
Am 
Dragged across this world, 
      C       G      F 
Still looking for my spark, 
F        C        Dm 
Memories flashing by, 
        Am 
And all I can do, 
   G              F    F 
Is sit and wonder why, 
                Am 
Wishing I could fly. 
F                           Am    F 
 Counting heartbeats in the dark, 
Am
