Most of these tabs have been collected from the now defunct Unofficial Blue Nile Website. At some point I should make a link to a downloadable version.

   I see the lines in the palm of its hand now
     Cm7                                     Fm7
   I listen hard, but no words spring to mind
   G#                                G7sus4     Gm7                                
   It sounds so sweet, listen to its heartbeat
           D#
   And I'm drowning in its sea
   D#
   Falling at its feet
                Fm7
   Listen to my heartbeat baby

Cm7
  The blood sail leaves tonight
               Fm7
  Fated in its blindness
Cm7                                  Fm7
  It won't be long before help is at hand
    G#
  In the darkness sleeps
                 G7sus4  Gm7
  Cushioning the heartbeat
        D#maij7
  And I killed the captain
  D#
  Sank the fleet
                  Fsus4            Fm7
  To liberate the heart beat baby
       G#                                G7sus4 Gm7                         
And it sounds so sweet, it sounds so sweet        
                     D#
listen to our hearts beat

Listen to my heartbeat baby

Cm7
Speaks to ghost, and the source of light

Springs to life, and doesn't think twice
G#
Wrapped in the blood cell, bathed in snow

Nailed to the source, and it won't let go
G7sus4
Bet on the bible, and grow from trees
Gm7
Open the mind, and the heart was free
D#maij7
A hum in the silence, safe and sound
D#
Trouble sleeps and the light is found
Fsus4
Speaks to ghost, and the source of light

Springs to life, and doesn't think twice
Cm7
Wrapped in the blood cell, bathed in snow

Nailed to the source, and it won't let go
G#
Bet on the bible, and grow from trees

Open the mind, and the heart was free
Gm7
A hum in the silence, safe and sound

Trouble sleeps and the light is found
             Cm7          Fm7
Listen to my heartbeat
             Cm7          Fm7
Wont be long
             Cm7          Fm7
Wont be long
             Cm7          Fm7
Wont be long
             Cm7          Fm7
Wont be long
             Cm7          Fm7
Wont be long
