C D G Em Am D G C G
C G
I’m still thinking about you
C G
When your’re not under my hands
C G Em

Am D
I’m only most of a man
C D G
But somewhere under a spotlight
C D G
Or stuck up under a bed
C D G Em
There’s a bucket of dreams in a box
Am D

C D G
Is it lost in a pawn shop
C D G
Or somewhere broken apart
C D G Em
We’ll put them all back together
Am D G
With the strings of your heart.
C D G Em
Is it something your dad gave you
C D G
Is it older than that
C D G Em
Is it brand new right out of the box
Am D
Did it bust you flat
C D G Em
Did it belong to your first gig hero
C D G
Back when he was getting his start
C D G Em
There aint nothin’ like music when you
Am D G
play On the strings of your heart.
[Instrumental]

Am D G
On the strings of your heart.
