Intro C Am7 C  Am7 

Verse 

C                        Am7 
I'm staring through a telescope at night 
C                       Am7 
at a large light in the sky 
C                       Am7         F 
Its spinning lights reminded me of you 
Fm                             C   G   C/E 
A star spinning in orbit lighting up the sky 
Dm                            G 
Or maybe it was not a star at all 

Verse 

C                           Am7 
I'm standing by the Hudson River's edge at night 
C                           Am7 
looking out across the Jersey shore 
C                    Am7                F 
At a neon light spelling out some cola's name 
Fm  
And I thought your name should be dancing 
C      G     C/E 
beamed from satellites 
Dm                            G 
Larger than any billboard in Times Square 
 

                F         F     G      C/E 
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid 
                 G                       F 
I'm the one who loves you in each and every way 
                F         F     G        C/E 
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid 
                Dm    G 
New York City lovers 

C                                 Am7 
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid 
C                    Am7    
Tell it to your heart 


Verse 


C                       Am7 
I'm up on the roof, it's 5 a.m. 
C                       Am7 
I guess I couldn't sleep 
C                       Am7                F 
And I see this spinning light that I saw last week 
Fm                                    C    G     C/E 
Maybe I should wake you up but by then it might be gone 
Dm                                            G 
You never know what you see when you look up in the sky 


Verse 


C                       Am7 
I ran outside down a darkened street 
C                       Am7 
listening to my boot heels click 
C                      Am7                 F 
My leather jacket squeaked, I needed a cigarette 
Fm                                        C     G     C/E 
When I turned the corner my spinning light was in the street 
Dm                               G 
They were filming a commercial on TV 


                 F         F     G      C/E 
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid 
                 G                       F 
We're no teenage movie that ends in tragedy 
                F         F     G        C/E 
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid 
                Dm    G 
New York City lovers 

               F         F     G      C/E 
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid 
                 G                       F 
I'm the one who loves you in each and every way 
                F         F     G        C/E 
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid 
                Dm    G 
New York City lovers 

C                                 Am7

Tell it to your heart
