Biography:
Lou Reed (March 2, 1942 - October 27, 2013) was an American rock artist originally from Brooklyn, New York, USA. Especially while a member of the The Velvet Underground in the 1960s, Reed broke new ground for the rock genre in several important dimensions, introducing more mature and intellectual themes to what was then considered a largely simplistic genre of music.
In 1964 Reed moved to New York City and began working as an in-house songwriter for Pickwick Records.

[Verse]
C Am7
I'm staring through a telescope at night
C Am7
at a large light in the sky
C Am7 F
Its spinning lights reminded me of you
Fm C G C/E
A star spinning in orbit lighting up the sky
Dm G
Or maybe it was not a star at all
[Verse]
C Am7
I'm standing by the Hudson River's edge at night
C Am7
looking out across the Jersey shore
C Am7 F
At a neon light spelling out some cola's name
Fm
And I thought your name should be dancing
C G C/E
beamed from satellites
Dm G
Larger than any billboard in Times Square
[Chorus]
F F G C/E
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
G F
I'm the one who loves you in each and every way
F F G C/E
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
Dm G
New York City lovers
C Am7
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
C Am7
Tell it to your heart
[Verse]
C Am7
I'm up on the roof, it's 5 a.m.
C Am7
I guess I couldn't sleep
C Am7 F
And I see this spinning light that I saw last week
Fm C G C/E
Maybe I should wake you up but by then it might be gone
Dm G
You never know what you see when you look up in the sky
[Verse]
C Am7
I ran outside down a darkened street
C Am7
listening to my boot heels click
C Am7 F
My leather jacket squeaked, I needed a cigarette
Fm C G C/E
When I turned the corner my spinning light was in the street
Dm G
They were filming a commercial on TV
[Chorus]
F F G C/E
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
G F
We're no teenage movie that ends in tragedy
F F G C/E
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
Dm G
New York City lovers
[Chorus]
F F G C/E
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
G F
I'm the one who loves you in each and every way
F F G C/E
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid

New York City lovers

Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
