Tell It To Your Heart

Lou Reed

Intro Verse I'm staring through a telescope at night at a large light in the sky Its spinning lights reminded me of you A star spinning in orbit lighting up the sky Or maybe it was not a star at all Verse I'm standing by the Hudson River's edge at night looking out across the Jersey shore At a neon light spelling out some cola's name And I thought your name should be dancing beamed from satellites Larger than any billboard in Times Square Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid I'm the one who loves you in each and every way Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid New York City lovers Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid Tell it to your heart Verse I'm up on the roof, it's 5 a.m. I guess I couldn't sleep And I see this spinning light that I saw last week Maybe I should wake you up but by then it might be gone You never know what you see when you look up in the sky Verse I ran outside down a darkened street listening to my boot heels click My leather jacket squeaked, I needed a cigarette When I turned the corner my spinning light was in the street They were filming a commercial on TV Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid We're no teenage movie that ends in tragedy Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid New York City lovers Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid I'm the one who loves you in each and every way Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid New York City lovers Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid Tell it to your heart e|-------3---3---3-----------3---3---3--------3---3---3----------3---3---3--| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----0---0---0----0------0---0---0--------0---0---0----0-----0---0---0----| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-0-3----------------3--0--------------0-3----------------3--0-------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-------3---3---3-----------3---3---3--------3---3---3----------3---3---3--| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----0---0---0----0------0---0---0--------0---0---0----0-----0---0---0----| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-0-3----------------3--0--------------0-3----------------3--0-------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Verse e|-------3---3---3-----------3---3---3--------3---3---3----------3---3---3--| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----0---0---0----0------0---0---0--------0---0---0----0-----0---0---0----| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-0-3----------------3--0--------------0-3----------------3--0-------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-------3---3---3-------3---3---3------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------1------1----1---1----------------| G|-----0---0---0-------0---0---0---------2------2----2---2------------------| D|-------------------------------------3------3-----------------------------| A|-0-3-------------3-0---------------3--------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-----------------------------------0--3---3---3--------1--1---1----1------| B|---------1----------------1--------1--0---1-----1------3----3---3---------| G|-------1---1------------1---1------0--0---0-------0----2------------------| D|-----3-------3--------3-------3-------0---2------------0------------------| A|---3-----------3----3--------------3--2-----------------------------------| E|-1----------------1-------------------3-----------------------------------| e|-1--1---1---1----3---3----3----3---3---3----3----3-----------------------| B|-3----3---3------0-----0----0------0-----0----0--------------------------| G|-2---------------0-----------------0-------------------------------------| D|-0---------------0-----------------0-------------------------------------| A|-----------------2-----------------2-------------------------------------| E|-----------------3-----------------3-------------------------------------|
