Em
[Verse 1]
C G
Well I had loved you for so long
Em G
I have no memory of falling so long now
C Em
It feels that we have never been apart
G
I hear you have a world away
Em7 C
You know for whom you're calling
G
I'd have said this years ago
C Em
If I'd known where to start
[Chorus]
G
Whoa now, it still beats steady
C Em7
This heart I handed you for free
G
Should you ever need a thing
C
It won't be hard to find me
G
Standing there at the ready
C Em7
With a dance or two still left in me
G
Wager that it won't appear
C Em7 C G C Em7 G C
That I forgot who brought me
[Verse 2]
G
You've torn the place asunder
Em
And you've left the party early
G
Looked at me with tears
C Em
As if a lost and lonely child
G
Your status suits you well
Em C
But do not think that you can fool me
G
This polish and reserve
C Em
Barely hides that you are wild
[Verse 3]
G
And we've echoes off of bar room walls
Em7
And buildings down on Main Street
G
Thought the moon would never set on
C Em
Our back alley Rome
G
In moments I found quality
Em
I thought could not be beaten
G
A thousand person choir
C Em
Has that affection on its own
[Chorus]
G
Oh now, it still beats steady
C Em7
This heart I handed you for free
G
Should you ever need a thing
C
It won't be hard to find me
G
Standing there at the ready
C Em7
With a dance or two still left in me
G
Wager that it won't appear
C
That I forgot who brought me
[Guitar Solo]
G C Em G C
[Verse 4]
G
You kissed me in the parking lot
Em7
I gave you nothing clever
G
Damages and injuries
Em
Were far beyond repair
G
Submitted to the shape of things
C Em7
This time it was forever
G
At an old barroom in Tulsa
C Em
I looked up and you were there
[Chorus]
G
Oh now, it still beats steady
C Em7
This heart I handed you for free
G
Should you ever need a thing
C
It won't be hard to find me
G
Standing there at the ready
C Em7
With a dance or two still left in me
G
Wager that it won't appear
C
That I forgot who brought me
[Outro]

Well I have loved you for so long
I have no memory of falling
So long now
It feels that we have never been apart
I hear you have a world away
You know for whom you're calling
I'd have said this years ago
If I'd known where to start
Oh now, it still beats steady
This heart I handed you for free
Should you ever need a thing
It won't be hard to find me
Standing at the ready
With a dance or two still left in me
Wager that it won't appear
That I've forgot who brought me
You've torn the place asunder
And you've left the party early
Looked at me with tears
As if a lost and lonely child
Your status suits you well
But do not think that you can fool me
This polish and reserve
Barely hides that you are wild
And we've echoed off of barroom walls
And buildings down on Main Street
Thought the moon would never set on
Our back alley room
In moments I found quality
I thought could not be beaten
A thousand person choir
Has an affection all its own
Oh now, it still beats steady
This heart I handed you for free
Should you ever need a thing
It won't be hard to find me
Standing at the ready
With a dance or two still left in me
Wager that it won't appear
That I've forgot who brought me
You kissed me in the parking lot

Submitted to the shape of things
This time it was forever
At an old barroom in Tulsa
I looked up and you were there
Oh now, it still beats steady
This heart I handed you for free
Should you ever need a thing
It won't be hard to find me
Standing at the ready
With a dance or two still left in me
Wager that it won't appear
That I've forgot who brought me
