The Beat That My Heart Skipped

D F G D# C# 6x D Every now and then I cower and I need to find empowerment F Empowerment is paramount to how I can begin to mount G A plan that I can implement to make a dent on ignorance D# Instead of drunk belligerence C# and the dissidence of miscreants D Especially in this instance with the never ending persistence F to use the words in each sentence as if they were blunt instruments G to beat a hole in the defence of this beauty and her innocence D# which serves to just build resistance C# in spite of all my good intents. D The beat that my heart skipped F The beat that my heart skipped G D# C# The beat that my heart skipped D This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met F Now that I’ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret G No disrespect,we just left a lot of people upset D# C# And what we had wasn’t really what we’d come to expect D The beat that my heart skipped when we first met F Now that I’ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret G No disrespect, we just left a lot of people upset D# C# And what we had wasn’t really what we’d come to expect D Well good god damn and other such phrases F I haven’t heard a beat like this in ages G To miss such a beat would have been outrageous D# C# But when you heart skips a beat its ruthless and aimless D She caught my attention in her fishnets F Then she reeled me in expecting nothing more than kissed necks and quick s*x G But that weren’t the case with this platinum princess D# She’s attracted my interest C# So I wanted to impress…. D Upon her all the positive things F That come form having more than just a one night fling G But that’s something that’s easier in theory than in practice D# Since pick up lines are tactics C# To get prey to the mattress D And this actress, Is practiced, In shunning such theatrics F When put upon daily by tactless geriatrics G So my genuine advances are met with po-faced scepticism D# C# Throwing complements but she just straight elects to miss them D Her lips were put on this earth for dispersing wisdom F God forbid I suggest she lets me kiss them G But I really want to know what she thinks of me D# C# Because I’m loving every idiosyncrasy D But I ain’t one to jump through hoops to make a 1st impression F Been there, done that, learnt the worst of lessons G We want to be loved for who we appear to be instead of who we are D# C# So I real selves take a backseat behind the pomp and the façade D And that’s as true of the rude boys, downing pints and acting hard F As of the kids shunning convention with clinical disregard G D# C# This is the beat that my heart skipped D This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met F Now that I’ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret G No disrespect,we just left a lot of people upset D# C# And what we had wasn’t really what we’d come to expect D This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met F Now that I’ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret G No disrespect,we just left a lot of people upset D# C# And what we had wasn’t really what we’d come to expect D This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met F Now that I’ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret G No disrespect,we just left a lot of people upset D# C# And what we had wasn’t really what we’d come to expect D This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met F Now that I’ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret G No disrespect,we just left a lot of people upset D# C# And what we had wasn’t really what we’d come to expect D Every now and then I cower and I need to find empowerment F Empowerment is paramount to how I can begin to mount G A plan that I can implement to make a dent on ignorance D# Instead of drunk belligerence C# and the dissidence of miscreants D Especially in this instance with the never ending persistence F to use the words in each sentence as if they were blunt instruments G to beat a hole in the defence of this beauty and her innocence D# which serves to just build resistance C# in spite of all my good intents.
