C
As soon as I get my head ’round you
I come around catching sparks of you
I get a little ‘lectric charge from you
A second hand living it just won’t do
F G
And the way I feel tonight
C F
I could die and I wouldn’t mind
G
And there’s something going on inside
C
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
F G
Makes you blow the stars from the sky
C
And I can’t stand up I can’t cool down
(F) (G) C F G
I can’t get my head off the ground
C
As soon as I get my head ’round you
I come around catching sparks of you
And all I ever got from you
Is all I ever took from you
F G
And the world could die in pain
C F
And I wouldn’t feel no shame
G
And there’s nothing holding me to blame
C
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
F G
Makes you blow the stars from the sky
C
And I’m taking myself to the dirty part of town
F G C
Where all my troubles can be found
F G
I say yeah, yeah, yeah
