Song: Slow Down My Heartbeat
Artist: Switchfoot
Album: The Edge of the Earth 
==================================================================================================
This song is in 7/8, divided as 4+3/8 or 4+2+1/8. 
Also I’m not too sure of some of the lyrics, so apologies if any are wrong.
There is also some muddying between A/Am and D/Dm, so if you want to be safe play A5 and D5.
