Capo on 5th fret
                 
 
Intro: G Em C G (2x)   
 
Verse 1:  
   
G          Em          C          G   
If I could be the reason your hair is a mess   
G          Em          C          D   
the bass drum beating way down deep in your chest   
G          Em          C          G   
If I could be the voice on your radio    
G        D        G   
then I could be your long ride home   
 
Verse 2:  
   
G          Em          C          G   
If mine could be the name that changes yours   
G          Em          C          D   
The wine in your glass, the swing on your porch   
G          Em          C          G   
the dollar in your pocket, and the peaceful in your sleep   
G        D        G   
Then I'd be what you mean to me   
 
   
C        G   
Standing here, watching you,    
Em                          D   
Turning every head in this crowded room   
       C                  G   
The lights down low, dancing slow   
    G                       Em          C                           G   
If falling is how you feel and perfect is what you see   
        G            D      G   
then I'd be what you mean to me   
   
 
G          Em          C          G   
If I could be the fire in your firefly   
G          Em          C          D   
the cool in the rain, the spark in your eye   
G          Em          C              G   
the answer to your prayer, and the faith that sets you free   
G        D        G   
Then Id be what you mean to me   
 
Chorus   
 
Bridge:  
   
Em               C        G   
And oh... all of this talk it makes you laugh   
C        G            D   
but I got to let you know just how I feel   
 
Chorus
