Tom: G
G C Am D
Let’s see if I can find the perfect way to say this
G C Am7 D
I see your face and I forget what my own name is
G C
Call me slick or sentimental
Am D
But I think we’ve got some potential
G C
Oh, oh, oh
Am D
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
G C Am7 D
I look around and I hear symphonies and classics
G C Am D
They’re more your jam, I have to wonder, where do I fit?
G C
Do I stack up when you compare me?
Am D
The thought alone’s enough to scare me
G C
Oh, oh, oh
Am D
Oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
G C
I wanna be in your head
Am D G C
The lullaby you hum before you hit the bed
D Em
The melody you just can’t seem to shake
D
In the morning when you wake
A7
I’d be the first thing on your mind
[Interlude]
Am Am D
[Chorus]
I’d go something like
G C
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Am7 D
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Em
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Am7 D7
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
[Verse 3]
G C Am D
Let’s see if I can find the perfect way to say this
G C Am7 D
I want to be the song that stands out on your playlist
G C
DJ, put me on rotation
Am7 D
I’ll pray that you won’t change the station
G C
Oh, oh, oh
Am D
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 4]
Gm G
Look, I’m just keepin’ it real
A G
I wish I had that Top 40 universal appeal
C
I feel like I’m that genre that you listen to ironically
Am D
A novelty, a comedy, but honestly, I wanna be
G C
MJ’s Thriller, a beat by Dilla
Am D
Or 16 bars by Ghostface Killa
G C
Oh, oh, oh
Am D
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
G C
I wanna be in your head
Am D G C
The lullaby you hum before you hit the bed
D Em
The melody you just can’t seem to shake
D
In the morning when you wake
A7
I’d be the first thing on your mind
[Bridge]
(switch style on each repeat)
Am D G C
They say you should always be yourself
Am D G C
And that would be the best thing for my health
Am D G C
But I’d change up my style and melody
Am D G C
If it meant that you would sing with me
Am D G C
They say you should always be yourself
Am D G C
And that would be the best thing for my health
Am D G C
But I’d change up my style and melody
Am D G
If it meant that you would sing with me
[Pre-Chorus]
G C
I wanna be in your head
Am D G C
The lullaby you hum before you hit the bed
D Em
The melody you just can’t seem to shake
D
In the morning when you wake
C
I’d be the first thing on your mind
[Interlude]
C C D
[Chorus]
I’d go something like
G C
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Am7 D
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Em
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Am7 D7
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
