Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

The studio's dark, got the candles on

I'm trying to write words to the perfect song

But nothing will rhyme, nothing sounds right

Now you're gone

It's raining outside so you can't be far

You're probably still soaked sitting in your car

Trying to make sense of all that we said

But you can't

And the words comin' out of the speakers

Are the only way I've got left to reach ya

My soul plays the keys, and my heart plays the drums

I need you to hear me so turn the radio on

Now I'm tryin' and I'm dyin' to see ya

I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean ta

Got my pain on the mic, layin' it all out tonight

I'll do it again and again till I get it right

Turn em up, turn up the speakers

Turn em up, turn up the speakers

Turn em up, turn up the speakers

Turn em up, turn up the speakers

Keys in the lock, now you're probably home

Walking through the door taking off your clothes

I turn up the sound, hoping somehow

I'll reach you

But I know that I can't, so I dial your phone

I don't leave a message, I just play the song

And hope that you hear, I hope that it's clear

As soon as you hold it up, up to your ear

Cause the words comin' out of the speakers

Are the only way I've got left to reach ya

My soul plays the keys, and my heart plays the drums

I need you to hear me so turn the radio on

Now I'm tryin' and I'm dyin' to see ya

I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean ta

Got my pain on the mic, layin' it all out tonight

I'll do it again and again till I get it right

Turn em up, turn up the speakers

Turn em up, turn up the speakers

Turn em up, turn up the speakers

Turn em up, turn up the speakers

And I wanna wrap these words around you

Cause I'll do whatever it takes for this song to find you

And the words comin' out of the speakers

Are the only way I've got left to reach ya

My soul plays the keys, and my heart plays the drums

I need you to hear me so turn the radio on

Now I'm tryin' and I'm dyin' to see ya

I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean ta

Got my pain on the mic, layin' it all out tonight

I'll do it again and again till I get it right

Turn em up, turn up the speakers

Turn em up, turn up the speakers

Turn em up, turn up the speakers

Turn em up, turn up the speakers

The studio's dark, got the candles on

I'm trying to write words to the perfect song

But nothing will rhyme, nothing sounds right

Now you're gone
