[Verse 1]
Am              F
We see a mother with no child
Am                 G
We meet a stranger poor, exiled
Dm                    Am
How`s the heart while it still beats?
       Em
Asks a no one
        G
Another John Doe

Am                F
Sorrow hides well in your shell
Am                G
A fellow man with hurt to spare
     Dm
Dear one
             Am
Here I am to share the fear
          G
An act of kindness
           Em
Without an amen

[Chorus]
          Am
How`s the heart
               Em
Underneath the silence?
          F
How`s the one
                Am
Drowning in the mire?
       F             C
Let us sound a human paean
     G
Come in, the fire`s warm
         C                   G
Burn the rope and dance some more

| Am      | Am      | Am      | C   G   |

[Verse 2]
Am                     F
We met where the cliff greets the sea
Am              G
Shared a story, took the leap
Dm              Am
Rose up rooted, hid a note
         Em
You know where
            G
You`ve been there

Am                  F
Now there`s one who came from me
Am                 G
A child of light, another tale
     Dm
Dear one
                    Am
Night will come but not to stay
    G
Oh, why?
             Em
The answer`s in the

[Chorus]
          Am
How`s the heart
               Em
Underneath the silence?
          F
How`s the one
                Am
Drowning in the mire?
       F             C
Let us sound a human paean
     G
Come in, the fire`s warm
         C                   G
Burn the rope and dance some more

[Bridge 1]
Eb            Bb
Fair winds my love
Cm              Gm
Fly towards the calm
Fm          Cm
Fly utterly lost
  F               Ab
Towards a beating heart
          Cm
A beating heart

[Bridge 2]
Dm
How is that heart

Underneath the silence?
Bb
How is the one

Drowning in the mire?
             Dm
Let us sound a human paean
        Bb             Dm
Come on in, the fire`s warm

Dm
How is that heart

Underneath the silence?
Bb
How is the one

Drowning in the mire?
             Dm
Let us sound a human paean

Come on in, the fire`s warm

[Chorus]
           Dm
How`s that heart
               C
Underneath the silence?
          Bb
How`s the one
                Am
Drowning in the mire?
       Bb              Am
Let us sound a human paean
        Bb
Come on in

          Dm
How`s the heart
               C
Underneath the silence?
          Bb
How`s the one
                Am
Drowning in the mire?
       Bb              Am
Let us sound a human paean
        C
Come on in, the fire`s warm
         F                   C
Dull the blade and dance some more

          Dm
How`s the heart
               C
Underneath the silence?
          Bb
How`s the one
                Am
Drowning in the mire?
       Bb              Am
Let us sound a human paean
        C
Come on in, the fire`s warm
         F                   C
Burn the rope and dance some more
