Heart Attack" is a song recorded by American singer Demi Lovato. I think I'd have a heart attack Verse 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 e|-| B|-| G|-13-12-10-13-12-10-15-12-15-12-| D|-11-11-13-13-| A|-15-15-| E|-| Putting my defenses up.

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. I suppose it could be substituted with an Eb chord to be consistent. I carefully listened to song, and Cm7 seems to be a more appropriate match for the chord played in the Intro and Background Lick. 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 would firstly like to point out the Cm7 chord and Fm/Bb. I thought it might be fun to apply my skills to pop music. I have been educated in music theory and ear training.
This rendition of "Heart Attack" is based on the "Official Video" from VEVO that I watched, which is currently available on YouTube.
