[Intro]
G Cadd9 D G
Verse:
G Cadd9 D G
I'm never shy but this is different
G Cadd9 D G Em
I can't explain the way I'm feeling tonight
Cadd9 D G
I'm losing control of my heart
G Cadd9 D G
Tell me what can I do to make you happy
G Cadd9 D G Em
Nothing I ever say seems to come out right
Cadd9 D G
I'm losing control of my heart
Pre-Chorus:
Cadd9
And I wish that I could be
Am
Another better part of me
G
Can't hear what your thinking
Cadd9
Maybe if I just let go
Am D
you'd open up your heart
Chorus:
G
But I can't read you
D Cadd9 G
I wish I knew what's going through your mind
D Cadd9 G
Can't touch you, your heart defending I get left behind
I can't reach you
D Cadd9 G
I wish I knew what's going through your mind
D Cadd9 G
Can't touch you, your heart protecting I get left behind
Guitar Solo-ey bit:
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Verse (Same chords as previous):
I like you so much I'm acting stupid
I can't play the game I'm all intense and alive
I'm losing control of my heart
I'm not supposed to be this nervous
I should play my hand all cool and calm
I can't breathe
I'm losing control of my heart
