Em 
There's a drumming noise inside my head 
That starts when you're around 
D 
i swear that you could hear it 
It makes such an all mighty sound 

Em 
There's a drumming noise inside my head 
That throws me to the ground 
D 
I swear that you should hear it 
It makes such an all mighty sound 

Em 
Louder than sirens 
C 
Louder than bells 
D 
Sweeter than heaven 
Em           C D 
And hotter than hell 

Em 
I ran to a tower where the church bells chime 
I hoped that they would clear my mind 
D 
They left a ringing in my ear 
But that drum's beating loud and clear 

Em 
Louder than sirens 
C 
Louder than bells 
D 
Sweeter than heaven 
Em          C D 
And hotter than hell 

Em 
louder than sirens 
C 
Louder than bells 
D 
Sweeter than heaven 
Em          C D 
And hotter than hell 

Em 
Louder than sirens 
C 
Louder than bells 
D 
Sweeter than heaven 
Em           C D 
And hotter than hell 

Em                   C 
As I move my feet towards your body 
   D                 Em 
I can hear this beat it fills my head up 
            C         D 
And gets louder and louder 
Em                              C         D 
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder 
Em             D        Em            D 
I run to the river and dive straight in 
Em                D          Em           D 
I pray that the water will drown out the din 

Em 
But as the water fills my mouth 
C                      D 
It couldn't wash the echoes out 
Em 
But as the water fills my mouth 
C                       D 
It couldn't wash the echoes out 

Em             C                         D 
I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole 
Em              C                    D 
Till there's nothing left inside my soul 
Em              C          D 
As empty as that beating drum 
Em              C       D Em C D 
But the sound has just be-gun 

Em                   C 
As I move my feet towards your body 
       D              Em 
I can hear this beat it fills my head up 
           C          D 
And gets louder and louder 
Em                             C           D 
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
