[Intro]
F#   E   F#   E
D C
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
All eyes were staring
    G
You floated through the room
A
Armed with your razor smile
G
Cutting to the bone
A
My voice fell useless
    G
You flashed a quick "Hello."
A
Feeling the fool
          G       F      G
Could you tell it showed?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                             Bb
But that was "Sometime Ago."
                               C
A memory vague and fading slow
                 D   F
Of somewhere I'd been
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Hand On Heart
             Eb         F
A promise, a word and a voice
G
Hand On Heart
            Eb                    F
A rhythm of hope and choice, will keep us together
        Dm
I don't know if I
Dm
Can reach that high
Bb                 C
It's a long way to fall
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
A   G
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
Hauntingly holding
   G
My fate with a gaze
A
Like a child, mesmerized
       G
By the candle's flame
A
Oh what lies behind those eyes
G
I could only guess
     A
That certain way you stood
           G       F
Apart from all the rest
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G                            Bb
Now where is "Sometime Ago?"
                               C
When everything moved in slo-motion
             D        F
Caught by my watering eye
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Hand On Heart
             Eb         F
A promise, a word and a voice
G
Hand On Heart
            Eb         F
A rhythm of hope and a vision of choice
G
Hand On Heart
           Eb         F
Promising, I'll never go
G
Hand On Heart
                   Eb         F
For reasons you'll never know
                 Dm
Together through thick and thin
             Bb                C
Lose or win, I'll be there for you
 
 
[Guitar Solo]

C D Em  G  F
 
 
[Verse 3]
A
Strange how the mind changes
G
Time and time again
A
Things once important, now
G              F
Pale in comparison
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Hand On Heart
             Eb         F
A promise, a word and a voice
G
Hand On Heart
            Eb         F
A rhythm of hope and a vision of choice
G
Hand On Heart
           Eb         F
Promising, I'll never go
G
Hand On Heart
                   Eb         F
For reasons you'll never know
  F                     G     Eb  F
I promise girl, Hand On Heart
