Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
Am Am

[Verse]
Am
We were out to a good start
F C
I was in with my whole heart
G Dm Am
First time that you kissed me, I felt butterflies
F C
But I guess they flew away with the summer night

Am
Like a carousel and quicksand
F C
Like a last song with a good band
G Am
We could keep on dancin’ till the lights get low
F C
But we could call it quits and just go home

[Chorus]
Am
The beat of my heart now

It’s beating slower
F C
The highs we’re ridin’ on are getting lower
G Am
We were on fire, but it’s feelin’ colder
F C
Baby, I ain’t saying it’s over

Am
No, we’ve never been closer
F C
No, we’ve never been closer

[Verse]
Am
Like a Mustang that just won’t run
F C
Like a whiskey that won’t get you drunk
G
Got one foot out, one foot in
Am
Standing on the edge
F C
Falling in or out of love again

[Chorus]
Am
The beat of my heart now

It’s beating slower
F C
The highs we’re ridin’ on are getting lower
G Am
We were on fire, but it’s feelin’ colder
F C
Baby, I ain’t saying it’s over

Am
No, we’ve never been closer
F C
No, we’ve never been closer

[Instrumental]
G Am F C

[Break]
Am
(Never been closer)

To takin’ my things out the drawers
F C
And moving back to Texas

G
(Never been closer)
Am
To sayin’ forever no more
F G
And makin’ me one of your exes

[Chorus]
Am
Beat of my heart now

It’s beating slower
F C
The highs we’re ridin’ on are getting lower
G Am
We were on fire, but it’s feelin’ colder
F C
Baby, I ain’t saying it’s over

Am
No, we’ve never been closer
F C
No, we’ve never been closer

[Outro]
G
No, we’ve never been closer
Am F C
(No, we’ve never been closer)
