Tom : Am
F C G Am
[Verse 1]
F C
I know it's been a week, I know it's not been long
G Am
But I'm already past the point of no return
F C
I've got you on a loop, I've got you in my head
G Am
A chemical reaction, a flashback to your bed
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
Waiting for your call
G Am
I can feel my body shaking
F C
Calm before the storm
G Am
Let it take me, I embrace it
[Chorus]
F C
You stirred somethin' in me
G Am
I admit defeat
[Próxima Parte]
F C G Am
Won't be thinking 'bout anything at all tonight, but
[Post-Chorus]

You, oh, oh
Am
Anything at all, but

You, oh, oh
[Próxima Parte]
Am
Anything at all, but ya
[Verse 2]
F
So tell me when you're out
C
And tell me where to go
G
Of course, you have my body
Am
But now you've got my soul
F C
You drive me to distraction, run me off the road
G Am
You crash into my mind, I'm ready to explode
[Pre-Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]
F C G Am
Won't be thinking 'bout anything at all tonight, so

Wrap yourself 'round me
[Próxima Parte]

Anything at all, cause
[Bridge 2x]
F C
You're the only voice in my head
G Am
I can hear you speaking, louder than I'm thinking
F C
Hang on every word that you said
G Am
Drive me to distraction, drive me to distraction
[Chorus]
F C
You stirred somethin' in me
G Am
I admit defeat
F C G Am
Won't be thinking 'bout anything at all tonight, so
F C
Wrap yourself 'round me
[Próxima Parte]
Am
Anything at all, cause
[Outro]
