Dear Maria Count Me In

	  		           Bm 
I got your picture 

I'm coming with you 
       G 
Dear Maria, count me in 
           D 
There's a story at the bottom  
        A 
of this bottle and I'm the pen 

Interlude:  
G A D F#m 
Verse 1: 
D 
  When the lights go off 
        G 
I wanna watch the way you  
                   Em 
take the stage by storm 

The way you wrap those  
      A 
boys around your finger 
          G        D 
Go on and play the leader 

Cause you know it's  
            G 
what you're good at 
                     Em 
The low road for the fast track 
                  A   F#/Bb 
Make every second last 

           Bm 
I got your picture 

I'm coming with you 
       G 
Dear Maria, count me in 
           D 
There's a story at the bottom  
        A 
of this bottle and I'm the pen 
        Bm 
Make it count when I'm the  
          G 
one who's selling you out 
         D 
Cause it feels like stealing hearts 
             A 
Calling your name from the crowd
 

Interlude:  
G A D F#m 
Verse 2: 
             D 
Live and let live 

You'll be the showgirl 
       G 
of the home team 
               Em 
I'll be the narrator 
         A 
Telling another tale  

of the American dream 
D (hold) 
  I see your name in lights 
G 
  We could make you a star 
Em 
Girl, we'll take the  

world by storm 
   A              F#/Bb 
It isn't that hard 

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Take a breath 
         A        F#m 
Don't it sound so easy? 
G 
Never had a doubt 
        G     A 
Now I'm going crazy  
D        A    F#m G    G - A 
watching from the floor 
D 
  Take a breath and let  
    A         F#m 
the rest come easy

Never settle down

Cause the cash flow

leaves me always wanting more
