[BPM: 100] [Key: Eb Major] [Intro: 8 bars | Rhodes and soft guitar establish the chords, strings fade in] [Verse 1: 16 bars | Bass and light drums enter, intimate lead vocal] Candlelight is low, the city's humming slow Pour another glass and let the evening glow There's a story in your eyes I've longed to know Take your time, my love, there's nowhere else to go Every little scar's a star you've learned to hide Every little laugh's a door that's open wide I'm not here to rush you, I'm just here to stay So come and lay your heart down, let it say [Pre-Chorus: 8 bars | Strings rise, harmonies begin to stack] Whisper it to me, soft as falling rain Every joy and every ache, I'll hold the same [Chorus 1: 16 bars | Full band, lush harmonies, memorable melodic hook] Tell me your herstory, baby Every chapter, every page Tell me your herstory, baby I'll be listening all night long Start from where the dreams began Hold my hand and understand Tell me your herstory, baby Sing it to me like a song [Verse 2: 16 bars | Return to a lighter texture with added percussion] Moonlight on your shoulder, silver in your hair Years of dancing barefoot, love beyond compare Tell me who you wanted to be at seventeen And all the roads that led you to this golden scene I'll treasure every detail, every tear and grin The rhythm of your heartbeat is where I begin No need to be perfect, no need to be strong Just be here with me, and let the night go on [Pre-Chorus: 8 bars | Build again with swelling strings] Whisper it to me, soft as falling rain Every joy and every ache, I'll hold the same [Chorus 2: 16 bars | Fuller arrangement with horn swells] Tell me your herstory, baby Every chapter, every page Tell me your herstory, baby I'll be listening all night long Start from where the dreams began Hold my hand and understand Tell me your herstory, baby Sing it to me like a song [Instrumental Break: 16 bars | Rhodes and guitar solo over strings, bass melodic] [Bridge: 8 bars | Drop back to keys and vocals, emotional lift] Time keeps spinning like a record on the floor But I'd stay inside your story evermore Every word you give me, I will keep Safe within my heart while you sleep [Final Chorus: 16 bars | Peak energy, ad-lib vocals and falsetto] Tell me your herstory, baby Every chapter, every page Tell me your herstory, baby I'll be listening all night long Start from where the dreams began Hold my hand and understand Tell me your herstory, baby Sing it to me like a song [Outro: 12 bars | Groove loops and strings slowly fade out] Tell me, baby, tell me Your herstory, your glory Ooh, I'm listening, baby Tell me your herstory
