verse 1
F Am
I came along an empty planet
C G
Where I was born beside a lake
F Am
The days were long, and there was nothing in my eye
G
Not a tear, not a bird, not a snake
F Am
And Phillip claimed I must have missed him
C G
At the point of faith and misbelief
F Am
The red man died without a spear there at his side
G
I never learned the shape of a maple leaf
F
In infrared is there anyone talking?
Am
In infrared is there anyone hocking
C G
A sign of life, something bright throwing heat?
F
In infrared in a little black box
Am
They won’t forget through the ticks, and the tocks
C G
In a little wood chest, a little heart with a beat
A little heart with a beat
Interlude
F Am C G
verse 2
F Am
She awoke the vast reflection
C G
The way we hold, let go, repeat
F Am
To synthesize a joy in someone’s afterlife
G
I never knew, I never know, I never tried
Repeat Chorus
Outro
F
A little heart with a beat
Am
A little heart with a beat
C
A little heart with a beat
G
A little heart with a beat
