 A#          F     
Since the moment i spotted you
 G                               D#
Like walkin around with little wings on my shoes
 A#              F                       G
My stomach's filled with the butterflies, 
     D#
Ooh, and it's all right, 
 A#         F
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud, 
 G                           D#      
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down, 
 A#                         F                  G      D#
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I lied,

Everytime I try to talk to you, 
I get tongue-tied, 
It turns out that everything I say to you, 
Comes out wrong and never comes out right.

So I'll say why don't you and I, 
Get together and take on the world and be together forever, 
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again, 
So I'll say why don't you and I, 
Hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven, 
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.

Verse

When's this fever going to break? 
I think I've handled more than any man can take, 
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around, 

Ooh, and it's all right, 
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud, 
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down,
If I'd said I didn't like it then you'd know I lied.


Chorus

So I'll say why don't you and I, 
Get together and take on the world and be together forever, 
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again, 
So I'll say why don't you and I, 
Hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven, 
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in. 



Bridge (clean)

Slowly I begin to realize, 
This is never going to end 
Right about the same time you walk by, 
And I say 'Oh here we go again',
Oh!
