C      G    F      G
Ooh, yeah.  Ooh, yeah---

C      G    F      G
Ooh, yeah.  Ooh, yeah---
[Verse 1]
C          G             F
  I got a little bit of reason

    G               C
For everything I've done

             G             F          G
I might just serenade the moonlight

C                G              F
   And I get so lonely in this crowd

           G                   C
I want to scream, but make no sound

                G          F     G      F
And, yeah, I'm lost, but maybe I'll be fine

                 G           F               G
'Cause when I'm in over my head, I hear the words you said that...
[Chorus]
 C       G
Someone out there's

 F                G
Listening to the same song

C             G           F     G
Feeling the same way that I do

 C         G         F             G
Make me a believer, pick up the receiver

 C           G         F         G
Tell me you feel just like I do, I do
[Verse 2]
C                  G               F
   And I couldn't bear to see you walk out

    G               C
And leave it all behind

            G               F        G
I couldn't bear to see the sunlight

C                   G               F
   And I love the sound of rain on tin

                  G            C
Your screen door beckoning me in

                G       F     G        F
And, yeah, I'm mad, but overcome with joy

          G           F                 G
Could it be so damn naive to hope you could agree that...
[Chorus]
 C       G
Someone out there's

 F                G
Listening to the same song

C             G           F     G
Feeling the same way that I do

 C         G         F             G
Make me a believer, pick up the receiver

 C           G         F         G
Tell me you feel just like I do, I do
[Break]
Dm    F    C    G
(instrumental, no lyrics)

Dm       F                  C
   In a world that's cellophane

            G                 Dm
You get so lost.  I know you do

      F                  G     F        
In a world that's cellophane
[Chorus]

Tell me you feel just like I do, I do

 C       G
Someone out there's

 F                G
Listening to the same song

Make me a believer, pick up the receiver

Tell me you feel just like I do, I do
