Dyslexic Heart
--------------
   By Paul Westerberg

This song is off the Singles soundtrack.  The chord are simple; some 
would say the song is simplistic, but that doesn't change the fact 
that it is an enjoyable tune.  Here are what I think are the chords.

Basic Pattern of verses:  F/C/F/C|F/C/G  |F/C/F/C|D  G  |
  --> Listen to the song to understand what I mean.  This is played 
during the verses and between sections, generally.

The F--->C means go right into the basic pattern.

Begins:
Basic Pattern X 4, along with the "na na na's"

F                C                  F            C
You're shooting glances and they're so hard to read
F          C             G
I misconstrue what you mean
F             C        F             C
Slip me a napkin, and now that's a start
D                      G            
Is this your name or a doctor's eye chart?

(Chorus)
F                           G          A        F--->C
I try to comprehend you but I got a dyslexic heart.
F                                G         A       F--->C
I ain't dying to offend you but I got a dyslexic heart.

(Second Verse)--chords same as first
Thanks for the book, now my table is steady
It's a library or a bar

Between the covers I judge you as ready
Half-angel, half-tart(?)

(chorus)
F                 C        F               C
Do I read you correctly?  You need me directly
D                   G
Help me with this part
      F                           G        A      F--->C
Do I date you do I hate you do I got a dyslexic heart?

            G                   F
You keep swayin'  What are you sayin'?  
              G                     A              F
Think about stayin'  Are you just playin', making passes
          E                     G
Well my heart could use some glasses....

          F                      G
Are you stayin'?  What are you savin'? 
             F               A              F
Or are you swayin'?  Just playing, making passes
          E                    G
Well my heart could use some glasses...

(Chorus)--same chords, these words
I try to comprehend you but I got a dyslexic heart
Do I read you correctly?  I need you directly.
Help me with this part.
Do I love you do I hate you--I got a dyslexic heart

--The song fades away with the basic pattern & lots
of na na na's
