F#m  D           A                E7            F#m            D
My heart's a stereo, it beats for you so listen close. Hear my thoughts in 
      A     E7
every no-oh-ote...  
F#m  D          A           E7               F#m           D                 
Make me your radio, turn me up when you feel low. This melody was meant for 
A              E7
you, just sing along to my stereo.

VERSE-

F#m, D, A, E7 (play throughout entire verse one bar per chord)

If I was just another dusty record on the shelf, will you blow me off and play me 
just like everybody else?
If I ask you to scratch my back could you manage that? Furthermore, I apologize 
for any skipping tracks.
It's just the last girl that play me left a couple cracks. I used to, used to, 
used to, used to now I'm over that,
'cuz holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts. If I could only find a note 
to make you understand...
I sing a song and the image grab me by the hands. keep myself inside your head 
like your favorite tune,
and know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you.

CHORUS-

F#m  D           A                E7     Fm     F#m            D
My heart's a stereo, it beats for you so listen close. Hear my thoughts in 
      A     E7
every no-oh-ote...  
F#m  D          A           E7      Fm       F#m           D                 
Make me your radio, turn me up when you feel low. This melody was meant for 
A              E7
you, just sing along to my stereo.

A                E7                       F#m              D         E7
oh, oh-oh, oh... oh, oh-oh (to my stereo) oh, oh-oh, oh... just sing along to my stereo

verse 2- (same chords as first verse)

If I wasn't old school, fifty pound boombox - would you hold me on your shoulder 
wherever you walk?
Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops and crank it higher everytime 
they told you to stop?
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me, when you have to purchase mad D 
batteries.
Appreciate every mix tape your friends make. You never know when we come and go 
like we're on the interstate.
I think I finally found a note to make you understand. If you hear this, sing 
along and take me by the hands.
Keep myself inside your head like your favorite tune, and know my heart is a 
stereo that only plays for you.

CHORUS-

A                E7                       F#m              D         E7
oh, oh-oh, oh... oh, oh-oh (to my stereo) oh, oh-oh, oh... just sing along to my stereo

Bridge-

F#m    D              A          E7-Fm-F#m          D            A
I only pray you never leave me behind, because good music can be so hard to 
E7
find.
F#m         D                A         E7-Fm-F#m              D
I take your hand and hold it closer to mine, thought love was dead but now 
       A           E7
you're changing my mind.

CHORUS-

A                E7                       F#m              D         E7
oh, oh-oh, oh... oh, oh-oh (to my stereo) oh, oh-oh, oh... just sing along to my stereo

G#m                       B         C#
   So many people gonna say that they want you
G#m                             B            C#
   To try to get you thinking they really care
G#m                                B           C#
   But there's nothing like the warmth of the one
            B          C#            D#             C#
   Who has put in the time and you know he's gonna be there
G#m                             B         C#
   Back your border when she knows someone crossed it
G#m                            B        C#
   Don't let nobody put you down who you're with
G#m                       B        C#
   Take the pain of protecting your name
              B           C#                D#
   From the crutch to the cane to the highwire

[Chorus]-
        E                    B
I'm in love with a girl who knows me better
D#                        G#m
Fell for the woman just when I met her
E                        B
Took my sweet time when I was bitter
D#             G#m
Someone understands
             E                   B
Cause she knows how to treat a fella right
D#                    G#m
Give me that feeling every night
E                       B
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
D#                     G#m
Now someone understand me
        E           B       D#        G#m
I'm in love with a girl... I'm in love with
         E          B       D#        G#m
I'm in love with a girl... I'm in love with

Out the many broken back doors and windows
Through the valley of the love of the lost
Is a hole that is cut to the soles
Falling down from the thrones
Without needing any windows
But you found inner peace for the moment
The moment was over in time
Then it's gone
The hit and run
The victor's fun has a short life

[Chorus]
E                       D#
Wanna tell you what you do to make you
G#m                 C#
Practice what you preach
       E             D#              G#m        C#
Now I know there's nothing we can't reach
           E
Cause a heart can't erase
D#
Once it finds a place
G#m                 C#
To be warm and welcome
E               D#
To be held in shelter

[Chorus]

Verse 1-
          C D   G Em
There's a boy I know
               C    D    G Em
He's the one I dream of
       C D        G Em
Looks into my eyes
                  C D       G Em
Takes me to the clouds above

Verse 2-
        C D    G Em
Ooh, I lose control
              C D      G Em
Can't seem to get enough
        C D       G Em
When I wake from dreaming
               C   D      G Em
Tell me is it really love

Chorus-
             C  D  D  Em
How will I know?
         C  D  D  Em
(Don't trust your feelings)
             C  D  D  Em
How will I know?
             C  D  D  Em
How will I know?
         C  D  D  Em
(Love can be deceiving)
             C  D  D  Em
How will I know?

 How will I know if he really loves me
C         D           G          Em
 I say a prayer with every heart beat
C           D        G       Em
 I fall in love whenever we meet
C            D               G          Em
 I'm asking you 'cause you know about these things
C           D       G            Em
 How will I know if he's thinking of me
C          D             G        Em
 I try to phone but I'm too shy (Can't speak)
C            D       G          Em
 Falling in love is all bitter sweet
C              D            G         Em
 This love is strong why do I feel weak

C#m
Been up since the crack of dawn
B                F#
Just trying to paid
C#m
Been hotter than a hundred suns
B                F#
I can't find no shade
     C#m
Just two more roads and I'm good to go
            B                F#
Yeah, I'm shutting this tractor down
          C#m
Get me a half an hour for a shave and a shower
N.c.
And I'll be outside your house
 
[Chorus]
                     C#m
Might have a little dirt on my boots
                     B              F#
But I'm taking you uptown tonight
                     C#m
Might have a little mud on my wheels
                     B              F#
But they're gonna shine with you're up inside
       C#m
Gonna hit the club, gonna cut a rug
        B             F#
Burn it up like neon lights
                     C#m
Might have a little dirt on my boots
                 N.C.
But we're gonna dance the dust right off them tonight

I'm gonna work harder loving on you
C#m
Spin you all over that dance floor
      B                       F#
Right out of them high heel shoes
C#m
And when you're ready to quit
      B                  F#
Baby, we can slip right out of that bar room door
            C#m
And when I take you home, don't worry babe
           B                   F#
I'm gonna kick them off on the porch
 
[Chorus]
                     C#m
Might have a little dirt on my boots
                     B              F#

But I can only get so fancy
 
[Chorus]

Burn it up like neon lights

Might have a little dirt on my boots
                 N.C.
But we're gonna dance the dust right off them tonight

C
Heart beats fast
           G
Colors and promises
          Em
How to be brave
          D             C
How can I love when I'm afraid

To fall
                 G
But watching you stand alone
          Em
All of my doubt
         D         C
Suddenly goes away somehow
         Em    D
One step closer
G
I have died everyday

waiting for you
Em
Darlin' don't be afraid
