Capo 1
Varse 1:
C
I was walking, was living
G A
My melody was acapella
C
Theres a beat I was missing
G A
No tune, or a scale, I could play
C
The sound in the distance
G A
No orchestra playing together
C
Like a boat out to sea,
G A
The silence was too deafening!
Pre-Chorus:
C
So come and revive me
Am
I cant feel my heartbeat
C A
Just me surviving alone

Before you,

Verse 2:
C
Everything was the same
G A
One color was just like the others
C
An assembly routine

My memories were all black and white
C
Till I stopped over-thinking
G A
Decided to draw back the curtains
C
And I cleared all the cobwebs
G A
And began to let in the light
Pre-Chorus:
C
So come and revive me
Am
I cant feel my heartbeat
C A
Just me surviving alone

You are the drum in my heart beat
Am
Bass and guitar lead
C A
Stuck on the notes you play
C
My heart that you play on
Am
Red like a crayon
C A
I cant walk away
Chorus:
C G
Before you,
A
My whole life was acapella!
