florence and the machine – heartlines
( album : ceremonials , 2011 )

intro : Am
Dm , F , Am

Am
oh the river , oh the river , it’s running free .

and oh the joy , oh the joy it brings to me .
Dm F G
but i know it’ll have to drown me ,
Am
before it can breathe easy .
Am
and i’ve seen it in the flights of birds , i’ve seen it in you

the entrails of the animals the blood running through .
Dm F
but in order to get to the heart ,
G Am
i think sometimes you’ll have to cut through .

but you can’t . . .

Dm F Am
we will carry . . .
we will carry you there . . .

F
just keep following!
C G
the heartlines on your head!
F
just keep following!
C G
the heartlines on your head!
F C
keep it up!
G
i know you can!
F
just keep following!
C G
the heartlines on your head!
Am
cause i Am . . .

on the sea , on the sea and land over land .
creeping and crawling like the sea over sand .
still i follow heartlines on your head .
and this fantasy , this fallacy , this tumbling stone .
echoes of a city that’s long overgrown .
your heart is the only place that i call home ,
can i be returned?

you can . . .
we can . . .
i know you can . . .

just keep following!
the heartlines on your head!
just keep following!
the heartlines on your head!
keep it up!
i know you can!
just keep following!
the heartlines on your head!

F C G
what a thing to do . . .
oooh
what a thing to choose . . .
but know , in some way i’m there with you .
up against the wall on a wednesday afternoon .

just keep following!
the heartlines on your head!
just keep following!
the heartlines on your head!
keep it up!
i know you can!
just keep following!
the heartlines on your head!
cause i Am .

enjoy : )
