I'm confident this is the right progression. The bridge chords might not be exact,
but they're very close. Don't forget to capo the 3rd fret as the tab is
relative to the capo. The chords are placed for timing.
NOTE: this sounds good on an acoustic when strummed to the rhythm of the snare drum.
I palm mute the verse, open strum the chorus, and get funky on the bridge or arpeggiate
it depending on the rendition.
Without further ado:

***Capo 3rd fret***

[Verse 1]

She's a fast love professional, crafty bold and beautiful

Stage right, locked eyes, I swear it's magical

Her name is Melanie, says she digs my melodies

Likes how I move, thinks I'm cool that's what she says to me

Big stage, bright light, short love, long night

Frequent flights through the skies to some stars

I come back to town, she's hangin' around

It still feels so real but it can't go too far.

[Chorus]

Her favourite colours be platinum and gold

She only loves in stereo. She only loves in stereo.

I should know 'cause I've seen it before

I think I gotta let her go, she only loves in stereo!

Dm Am

Oh oh... oh oh... oh oh

[Verse 2]

Turn on the video, oh my goodness there she goes

Now I'm hot, seems I'm not the only one she knows

Name dropping everyday, I still want her anyway

I like how she moves, think she's cool, my favourite get away

Big stage, bright light, short love, long night

Deja vu, yeah, we do it again

Off to the next town, she's onto the next round

Let it go, we both know that it's all gonna end, oh

[Chorus]

Her favourite colours be platinum and gold

She only loves in stereo. She only loves in stereo.

I think I gotta let her go, she only loves in stereo!

It wasn't really me, so I had to let her go

Just ask any DJ back in her hometown

She likes to get around

As much as she gets down

Her favourite colours be platinum and gold

She only loves in stereo. She only loves in stereo.

I should know 'cause I've seen it before

I think I gotta let her go, she only loves in stereo!
