G Bm C twice
G Bm C
Sometimes I get captured by the way a song sounds
G Bm C
Takes me inside and lifts me up off the ground
G Bm C
It can make you feel love like you’ve never felt before
Am D
Or it can make you cry and want to hide behind doors
[Refrão] C D G G/F# Em
For a song is more powerful than most people think
C D
Go ahead and sit by the jukebox and order up a drink
G Bm C D
And try not to listen, try not to hear the words
G Bm C D
For that song that’s always haunted you is always gonna be heard
G Bm C D
I hope you listen to my songs, I hope you listen to what I say
Am D G
This song’s my life and that’s the reason, oh the reason that I was made
Sometimes I put some grit into it and sing as loud as I can
And I scream and yell at the crowd hoping that they understand
And sometimes they yell back and it’s as crazy as it can be
And I think to myself, what a hell of a life I lead
Chorus
Solo
Sometimes it’s just real slow and tender as it can be
And I look into your eyes and I wish you could see what I see
You may not want to listen, you may not like my style
But I promise you before the end of the night, there’s something you’re gonna realize
Chorus
