[C] Hey Tracy, I was looking for you.
_ [F] What? _
_ I can hear the bell.
What?
What are you talking about?
[Am] _ _ Well, don't you hear him chime?
Chime's not exactly how [Bb] I'd put it.
_ _ Can't you feel [Dm] my heartbeat?
Keeping [G] _ perfect time.
[C] And all _ because _ he [F] _ touched me.
He looked at me and stared.
[Bb] Yes, he bumped me.
My heart was unprepared.
When he tapped me [F] and knocked me off my feet.
[G] One little touch, [C] now my life's [F] complete.
Cause when he nudged me, love put me in a fix.
[Dm] Yes, it hit me just like a ton of bricks.
[Bb] Yes, my heart burst.
[F] Now I know what life's about.
One [G] little touch [F] and love's [C] knocked me out.
[F] And I can hear the bells.
My head is [Dm] spinning.
I can hear the bells. _
Something's beginning.
[Bb] Everybody says [F] that a girl who looks like me
can't win [G] love [Bb] well.
[C] Can't [Bb] win [C] because [F] I can hear the bells.
Just hear them chiming.
[Dm] I can hear the bells.
My head's been [Bb] climbing.
I can't contain my joy.
[F] As I finally found the boy I've been [G] missing.
[F] _ [C] Listen, [F] I can hear the bells.
_ [Db] _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ Round one, he'll ask me on a date.
And [Ebm] then round two, I'll primp but won't be late.
[B] Because round three, we'll [Gb] be kissing cider.
Won't go [Ab] all the way, [Db] but I'll show pretty.
_ [Gb] _ Round four, he'll ask me for my hand.
And [Ebm] then round five, we'll book the wedding band.
So [B] by round six, [Gb] and for much tears of pride,
this [Ab] heavyweight [Gb] champion [Db] takes the prize.
[Gb] And I can hear the bells.
My head is spinning.
[Ebm] I can hear the bells.
The bridesmaids are singing.
[B] Everybody says that [Gb] a guy who's such a gem
[Ab] won't look my way while [B] the [Db] laughs [Abm] on [Db] them [Gb] pass.
I can hear the bells.
My father will smile.
[Ebm] I can hear the bells.
As he walks me down the aisle,
[B] my mother starts to cry.

Today's just the start because [Em] I can hear the bells.
And so deaf to a crime, _ [C] even when we die,
we'll [G] look down from up above, _ [Am] remembering the night
that we [G] two fell in love.
[G] [C] We both will shed a tear and [G] whisper as we _ _ [A] _ listen.
[G] Listen, I can hear the bells. _ _ _
