Heart Attack Lyrics

This rendition of "Heart Attack" is based on the "Official Video" from VEVO that I
watched, which is
currently available on YouTube. I have been educated in music theory and ear
training. I thought it might
be fun to apply my skills to pop music. This is one of many songs I've analyzed.
I would firstly like to point out the Cm7 chord and Fm/Bb. Just in case you didn't
know already, Fm/Bb
simply means that you play all of the notes of an F minor chord, and you add a B
flat as the bass note. I
carefully listened to song, and Cm7 seems to be a more appropriate match for the
chord played in the Intro
and Background Lick. I suppose it could be substituted with an Eb chord to be
consistent. However, the
notes played in both of those parts are C, Eb, G, and Bb, and those are the notes
that make up a Cm7 chord.
W = Whole Note
H = Half Note
Q = Quarter Note
E = Eighth Note
S = Sixteenth Note
() = Optional Note in Parentheses
S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S
Putting my defenses up...
S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S
I don't wanna fall in love...
Ever did that...
I think I'd have a heart attack
Never put my love out on the line
Never said yes to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I'm never good enough
When I don't care
I can play 'em like a Ken doll
Won't wash my hair
Then make 'em bounce like a basketball
Bridge:
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yes you, make me so nervous
That I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow,
But I cover up
Won't let it show,
So I'm
Main Refrain
Background Lick (Just like the intro):
S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S
Putting my defenses up...
S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S
I don't wanna fall in love...
S S S S S S S S
Ever did that...
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around, I get paralyzed
And every time I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
It's just not fair
Pain's more trouble than love is worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurts
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume
For you, make me so nervous
That I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow,
But I cover up
Won't let it show,
So I'm
Repeat "Main Refrain"
The feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And there's no one else to blame
So scared I take off and I run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I burst into flames
"Flames" Harmony Part
E E E E E E E E E E E E Q
You make me glow,
But I cover up
Won't let it show,
So I'm
Repeat "Background Lick"
Outro Refrain
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack (heart attack)
I think I'd have a heart attack (tack)
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
Enjoy the tab!
