Where Did The Beat Go

• Ebm

Intro: Ebm Db Ebm Db

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ba da ba bum
Oh oh oh oh
Ba da ba bum
Ba da ba bum
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

F#                               Ebm
I can hear planes flyin' over my head
                      B           Db
Just hours before you occupied my bed
Ebm                            Abm
In our darkness we conjured up sunlight
Ebm                          Abm               Db
In our haste, our need, our thirst we lost our sight
Ebm                                          B
But I was inspired tracing the lines on your face
       Ebm                                Db               
To the poetry the first time I heard your name
       Ebm                    Db               Abm
When I trip from your lips my heart was like a kick-drum
       Ebm                          Db             Ebm
And it silenced the guilt, I wasn't raised to hurt anyone

Ebm         
Uh oh, does he know
                           Db
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
                           B
That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no
B                   Db
Make him think he's crazy
                   Ebm
While his paranoia grows
Ebm                Db
What he should be asking
                      B 
Is where did our love go
                   Db
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
                      Ebm
In another man's afterglow
Ebm
Where did the beat go?
Db
Where is the beat?
Ebm
Where did the beat go?

F#                          Ebm
So how do I justify to the judge and the jury
                  B                     Db
The voices in my head that caused this fury
Ebm                                 Abm
Never had to play with matches to start a fire
Ebm                        Abm                  Db
But it got so cold and I thought I'd forgotten desire
            Ebm                    B
I was your concubine and then your Madonna
              Ebm                            Db               
You couldn't see anything beyond your baby's mama
     Ebm             Db         Abm
How long is lonely supposed to last?
       Ebm          Db                  Ebm
I was naked and waiting for you to come back



Ebm         
Uh oh, does he know
                           Db
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
                           B
That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no
B                   Db
Make him think he's crazy
                   Ebm
While his paranoia grows
Ebm                Db
What he should be asking
                      B 
Is where did our love go
                   Db
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
                      Ebm
In another man's afterglow
Ebm
Where did the beat go?
Db
Where is the beat?
Ebm
Where did the beat go?

In another man's afterglow...

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Ebm                                            Db
There's a cause and effect although I took the steps
Abm                               B
I dove off the bridge cause I had nothing left
Ebm                   Db
All I ever wanted was you
Ebm                   Db
And in the absence of you
B Db   Ebm
I fell through


Ebm         
Uh oh, does he know
                           Db
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
                           B
That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no
B                   Db
Make him think he's crazy
                   Ebm
While his paranoia grows
Ebm                Db
What he should be asking
                      B 
Is where did our love go
                   Db
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
                      Ebm
In another man's afterglow
Db
Where did the beat go?
Ebm
Where is the beat?
Db
Where did the beat go?
Ebm
Where did the love go?
