In Your Head

G         C                 Am          D
Let’s see if I can find the perfect way to say this
G     C                  Am7          D
I see your face and I forget what my own name is
G             C
Call me slick or sentimental
    Am            D
But I think we’ve got some potential
G       C
Oh, oh, oh
Am      D
Oh, oh, oh

G       C                Am7         D
I look around and I hear symphonies and classics
G            C                   Am            D
They’re more your jam, I have to wonder, where do I fit?
   G          C
Do I stack up when you compare me?
    Am               D
The thought alone’s enough to scare me
G       C
Oh, oh, oh
Am      D
Oh, oh, oh

           G       C
I wanna be in your head
    Am          D              G       C
The lullaby you hum before you hit the bed
    D                             Em
The melody you just can’t seem to shake
                        D
In the morning when you wake
                               A7
I’d be the first thing on your mind

Am Am D

I’d go something like
G        C
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Am7      D
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Em
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Am7      D7
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

G         C                 Am          D
Let’s see if I can find the perfect way to say this
G      C                    Am7           D
I want to be the song that stands out on your playlist
G       C
DJ, put me on rotation
     Am7            D
I’ll pray that you won’t change the station
G       C
Oh, oh, oh
Am      D
Oh, oh, oh

Gm    G
Look, I’m just keepin’ it real
         A               G
I wish I had that Top 40 universal appeal
            C
I feel like I’m that genre that you listen to ironically
  Am             D
A novelty, a comedy, but honestly, I wanna be
G            C
MJ’s Thriller, a beat by Dilla
   Am      D
Or 16 bars by Ghostface Killa
G       C
Oh, oh, oh
Am      D
Oh, oh, oh

           G       C
I wanna be in your head
    Am          D              G       C
The lullaby you hum before you hit the bed
    D                             Em
The melody you just can’t seem to shake
                        D
In the morning when you wake
                               A7
I’d be the first thing on your mind

(switch style on each repeat)
Am                  D             G      C
They say you should always be yourself
    Am                D                 G       C
And that would be the best thing for my health
    Am               D             G     C
But I’d change up my style and melody
Am               D                   G    C
If it meant that you would sing with me
Am                  D             G      C
They say you should always be yourself
    Am                D                 G       C
And that would be the best thing for my health
    Am               D             G     C
But I’d change up my style and melody
Am               D                   G

           G       C

In the morning when you wake
                               C
I’d be the first thing on your mind
