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 
             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
