There’s a set of ^Dmrickety stairs In between my heart and my ^Fhead And there ain’t much that ever bothers ^Gmgoing up them Here we go I'm ^Bbat it again ^Dm And once it’s started it’s so tricky to s^Ftop Suddenly reminded of things I thought I’d for^Dmgot You’ve got me loosening up my ^Bbgrip on the plot

^BbAnd it feels ^Gmlike Your ^F#entrance just caused the ^Ftemperature to rise You’d got a l^Gmook in your eyes As you s^F#nuck in the side ^Dm

And the place I ^Dmthought I was at Hasn’t yet invited me ^Fback The trouble with the chase is it’s so ^Gmeasy to crash Why colour in the lines if you’re just ^Bbpainting it black?

^DmI thought they were kisses but apparently ^Fnot Do you end all your messages with an ‘X marks the ^Gmspot’? Just let me know when you want your ^Bbsocks knocking off

^BbAnd it feels ^Gmlike Your ^F#entrance just caused the ^Ftemperature to rise You’d got a l^Gmook in your eyes As you s^F#nuck in the side Guess ^Fthere’s nothing like The element of s^Gmurprise
