[Intro]
C  F  Am  G  F

[Verse 1]
C
Makes you wanna take a Sunday drive
F
Throws you right back
to a different time
Am
Puts your lighter up singing
G               F
loud and out of tune
   C
It puts a little sound
in an empty space
    F
And for a little while,
let's you drift away
     Am
It's simple, but it's true
           G                F
Yeah, it's crazy what a song can do

[Chorus]
                F
It can make you dance
             C
and make you cry
         G                      Am
Make you wanna give it one more try
        F                   C
Start a band, and kiss that girl
               G
And break some rules
                         F
It'll make you give your heart
           C
and get it back
            G              Am
Change your mind just like that
               F
When it's like every single
         C                G
line was written just for you
         F                     C  F
Ain't it crazy what a song can do?

[Bridge]
          F                  C
Shake the ground, steal your breath
