Things may always stay the [E] way they are
[D] Still [E] my head looks [A] for a change from [E] time to time
[Bm] [C] I don't really [C#m] mean to look that far
[D] Turn on the music, strike up the music
Let the music change [A] my [E] mind
[D] Don't I dig the [E] big time rock and roll
[D] Sit in the darkness [A] and be [A#m] somebody [Bm] else
[C] A time which after [C#m] all is under control
[D] Crank up the music, give me music
Let the music [A] fill the [E] air
[Dm] [F] My dear friends, your [G] head's been sinking like a stone
[Em] You [D] must try thinking like a cloud [B] sometimes
[F#m] Just leave a happy [E] side out loud sometimes
[G] There's a symphony inside you
[D] There's a thousand [E] things for you to do
[C#m] But come [D] on, let a hush fall [E] on the movie crowd
[D] Boy turns to girl, [A] she says I love you [A#m] so
[Bm] [C] What I hear in [C#m] here is filed in
[D] Give me music, miss the music
Let the music [A] be there too
I'll never know what to [Bm] do
Unless you let that music [A] be there too
You [Dm] see this man, his [C] head's been sinking like a [Em] stone
You [G] must try thinking [A] like a cloud [F#m]
sometimes
[A] Just leave a happy [E] side out loud sometimes
[F] There's a symphony inside you
[Bm] There's a thousand [E] things for you to do
So [D] come on, leave a hush fall [A] on the movie crowd
[B] Boy [E] turns to girl, [A] says I love you [A#m] so
Well you [Bm] know, [C] what I hear in [C#m] here is filed [D] in
Strike up the music, lay on the music
Let the music be [A] there too
La la la la [Bm] la la la la
Let it [A] be there too
