Everything works if you let it, if you let it in your heart

play riff 2 twice

She is the (D)girl of his dreams

He wants (F#)her, he thinks forget it

He's got a (E)pain in his heart he feel like cryin

So (Eb)lonesome for love* he feels like dyin

but (D)don't stop the dream

He can (F#)fix it, I know he can

He's the (E)world's world's greatest at the work that he does

when he (Eb)moves on down the line

(with riff 1) Everything works if you let it

(with riff 1) Everything works if you let it

(with riff 2) Everything works if you let it, if you let it in your heart

second verse

She is the girl of his dreams, he wants he, he thinks forget it

He'd love to look inside her heart and see if she agrees

But don't stop the dream, he can fix it, I know he can

He's good, he's great at the work that he does

And there's magic in the air

half the time and all the time don't know if it's true

repeat bridge

Someday somewhere he'll know if it's true

She'll look inside her heart and then decide it's really you

the "you" is drawn out, and the last part of the bridge, in F is repeated

4 times

repeat riff 2 four times

on the last time:

if you (D)let it (E)in your (A)heart (G) (F#m7) (F#Maj7+5) (A)

* in the recorded version of the song, he's "lonesome for love", but in an

acoustic demo I've heard he's "lonesome for home". I much prefer the

"lonesome for home" bit but, hey, Cheap Trick always had the corniest

lyrics. Still do. I wouldn't like them so much if they didn't. :)

Bitch to learn, bitch to tab, but well worth it.
