G
The studio's dark, got the candles on
D/F#
I'm trying to write words to the perfect song
Em
But nothing will rhyme, nothing sounds right
Cadd9
Now you're gone
G
It's raining outside so you can't be far
D/F#
You're probably still soaked sitting in your car
Em
Trying to make sense of all that we said
Cadd9
But you can't

G
And the words comin' out of the speakers
D/F#
Are the only way I've got left to reach ya
Em
My soul plays the keys, and my heart plays the drums
Cadd9
I need you to hear me so turn the radio on
G
Now I'm tryin' and I'm dyin' to see ya
D/F#
I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean ta
Em
Got my pain on the mic, layin' it all out tonight
Cadd9
I'll do it again and again till I get it right
G
Turn em up, turn up the speakers
D/F#
Turn em up, turn up the speakers
Em
Turn em up, turn up the speakers
Cadd9
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
