F
Stereo
   Am7
We hear both sides
   Fsus/D
We sympathize
   Dm   C   Bb    C  F
We live our lives in stereo
    Am7
The left and the right
     Fsus/D
The dark and the light
   Dm  C   Bb   C   Dm7
We wrestle with the balance
   C6
We change our tone
   Bbmaj7
We leave our phone
    Gm7    C7       Am7
And tape record our absence
   Bb     Csus
In lovin' memory

F      Dm7
Stereo
      C7           F      Dm7
We're livin' it in stereo
   C7            Am7            Bbmaj7
We fix it so our love is high fidelity
             Am7            Bbmaj7
Mix it so we never lose the melody
              Am7      Bbmaj7   Csus F Dm7 Gm7 C7
We try to equalize our lives in stereo

   F
So on we go
     Am7
From side to side
   Fsus/D
As we divide
  Dm C   Bb   C  F
A single life in stereo
    Am7
The far and the wide
   Fsus/D
We override
    Dm  C    Bb   C   Dm7
The feedback from the others
    C6
The unkind phrase
   Bbmaj7
We lock in phase
      Gm7  C7     Am7       Bb     Csus
We're only really listening to the stereo

F      Dm7
Stereo
      C7           F      Dm7
We're livin' it in stereo
   C7              Am7            Bbmaj7
We tune it till we have a perfect parody
                    Am7               Bbmaj7
Commune with such a fine-cut, crystal clarity
                 Am7
It seems to symbolize
    Bbmaj7   Csus
Our lives in stereo

Dm       C        Bb         C
Oo (la, la, la, la, la, la), yeah, yeah, yeah
Dm       C        Bb         C
Oo (la, la, la, la, la, la), yeah, yeah, yeah
Dm       C        Bb
Oo (la, la, la, la-a)
