HEARTBEAT - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS TAB
The first part of the song with only the piano, accompanied with the drums
VERSE 1 (Without guitar)
Am I alone, in your heart
Have I hope....with your heart?
She's such a teaser, she's such a star
Give me a reason, or give me a chance!
PRE-CHORUS 1 (Partly without guitar)
Am I alone, in your heart
Am I alone?
It tears me apaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart...
When the singer sings "Apaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart", 4 seconds before
the opening chorus, you must play this subtle riff

D |------------------------|
A |------------------------|
E |------------------------|
CHORUS
This is the riff for the chorus. You must play it twice.
"Doin-all-I-can-do,just-to-be-next-to-you, everytime we meet,
I skip a heart-beat"
"Always-up-for-a-laugh,she's-a-pain-in-the-arse,
everytime we-meet-I-skip-a-heart-beat"

VERSE 3 (Mostly without guitar)
Give me an evening, or give me a night
I'll show you the time....of your life.
(The next line co-incides with this part here)
"I'll walk-you-home safe...from the dark"

PRE-CHORUS 2 (Mostly without guitar)
But she won't come dancing...tonight,
She's having the time....of her liiiiiife
When the singer sings "Liiiiiiife", you play this riff,
which is only slightly different to the last pre-chorus riff
you played, four seconds before the CHORUS.
