Standard (EADGBE)

 I tremble

 They're gonna eat me alive

 If I stumble

 They're gonna eat me alive

 Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?

Beating like a hammer? Beating like a hammer? Beating like a hammer?

Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer

Hard to be soft

Tough to be tender

 Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train

Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer

Beating like a hammer. Beating like a hammer. Beating like a hammer

(The C kinda sneaks in, again listen to the song)

 If you're still alive

 My regrets are few

 If my life is mine

 What shouldn't I do?

 I get wherever I'm going

 I get whatever I need

 While my blood's still flowing

 And my heart still beats...

Beating like a hammer

Beating like a hammer

Beating like a hammer

Beating like a hammer

Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer

Hard to be soft

Tough to be tender

 Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train

Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer

Beating like a hammer. Beating like a hammer. Beating like a hammer.

(The C kinda sneaks in, again listen to the song)

 If you're still alive

 My regrets are few

 If my life is mine

 What shouldn't I do?

 I get wherever I'm going

 I get whatever I need

 While my blood's still flowing

 And my heart still beats...

Beating like a hammer

Beating like a hammer

Beating like a hammer

Beating like a hammer

 I tremble

 They're gonna eat me alive

 If I stumble

 They're gonna eat me alive

 Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
