Oh Heart
Baillie & the Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Oh, heart, hold on just a little longer
Oh, heart, he′ll come around
Oh, heart, if you could beat just a little stronger
Oh, heart, he won't let you down
One love is worth a thousand nights alone
And as long as he′s in your heart, He's not really
Gone, so hold on
You've got to believe when you love someone you wait a
Little longer
If his love is true, he′ll come around
Whatever you do, don′t be afraid to be a little
Stronger
Oh heart, he won't let you down
This feelin′ inside me can't be wrong
As long as he′s in your heart, he's not really gone,
So hold on,
Hold on
Move capo to 3 - Key of
Solo

Oh, heart, hold on just a little longer
Oh, heart, he′ll come around
Oh, heart, if you could beat just a little stronger,
Oh, heart, he won't let you down, yeah he'll come
Around

Same chord progression as verse above:
You′ve got to believe when you love someone you wait a
Little longer
If his love is true, he′ll come around

Oh heart, if you could beat just a little stronger,
Oh heart, he won't let you down
