lyrics

PUT A RECORD ON
(Ricardo)
————

VERSE
C C/B Bb F
I can blow fire; I can rain on it
C C/B Bb F
I can see a thing’s reflection in its opposite
C C/B Bb F
I can float high when I’m feeling down
C C/B Bb F
Put a record on and spin around, lifted by the sound

PRECHORUS
E F
I’ll pretend that I am Billie Shears
Am G
Bathing in the ghostly cheers

CHORUS
C C/B Bb F
Can you feel it now?
C C/B Bb F
Adoration from a long-dead crowd
C C/B Bb F
And it makes me wanna sing it loud, just let it go into the microphone
Am G D G
But I know; I know
Am G F G
That no one’s listening anymore!

VERSE (instrumental)
C C/B Bb F
C C/B Bb F
C C/B Bb F
Am G

VERSE
C C/B Bb F
I can blow fire; I can rain on it
C C/B Bb F
I can see a thing’s reflection in its opposite
C C/B Bb F
I can float high when I’m feeling down
C C/B Bb F
Put a record on and spin around, lifted by the sound

PRECHORUS
E F
Now I’ll do my best to make it clear
Am G
So just open up your ears

CHORUS
C C/B Bb F
Can you hear me now? I know you wanna, but you
C C/B Bb F
Don’t know how I know you wanna, but you
C C/B Bb F C
Don’t know how
