VerseCAm7
I'm staring through a telescope at night
CAm7
at a large light in the sky
CAm7F
Its spinning lights reminded me of you
FmCGC/EA star spinning in orbit lighting up the sky
DmG
Or maybe it was not a star at all
VerseCAm7
I'm standing by the Hudson River's edge at night
CAm7
looking out across the Jersey shore
CAm7F
At a neon light spelling out some cola's name
Fm
And I thought your name should be dancing
CGC/E
beamed from satellites
DmG
Larger than any billboard in Times Square
ChorusFFGC/E
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
GF
I'm the one who loves you in each and every way
FFGC/E
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
DmG
New York City lovers
CAm7
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
CAm7
Tell it to your heart
VerseCAm7
I'm up on the roof, it's 5 a.m.
CAm7
I guess I couldn't sleep
CAm7F
And I see this spinning light that I saw last week
FmCGC/E
Maybe I should wake you up but by then it might be gone
DmG
You never know what you see when you look up in the sky
VerseCAm7
I ran outside down a darkened street
CAm7
listening to my boot heels click
CAm7F
My leather jacket squeaked, I needed a cigarette
FmCGC/E
When I turned the corner my spinning light was in the street
DmG
They were filming a commercial on TV
ChorusFFGC/E
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
GF
We're no teenage movie that ends in tragedy
FFGC/E
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
DmG
New York City lovers

Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
GF
I'm the one who loves you in each and every way

Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
