INTRO:
[Gb] [Gb] [Gb] [Gb open]
[G#m] [A#m] [D#m] [D#m]
[G#m] [A#m] [D#m] [D#m]
[G#m] [A#m] [B] [Db]
[Gb] [Gb] [Gb] [Gb open]

VERSE 1:
Whenever I'm [G#m] with him [A#m]
Something in-[D#m]-side [D#m]
Starts to [G#m] burnin' [A#m]
And I'm [D#m] filled with [D#m] desire

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[G#m] Could it be, a [A#m] devil in me
Or is [B] this the way love's sup-[Db]-posed to be?

CHORUS:
It's like a [Gb] heat wave
Burnin' in my [Gb] heart
I can't keep from [Gb] crying
Tearin' me a-[Gb]-part

VERSE 2:
Whenever he [G#m] calls my name [A#m]
Soft, low, [D#m] sweet and plain [D#m]
I [G#m] feel, right [A#m] there
I [D#m] feel that burning [D#m] flame

PRE-CHORUS 2:
Has [G#m] high blood pressure got a [A#m] hold on me
Or is [B] this is the way love's sup-[Db]-posed to be

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE + PRE-CHORUS]

VERSE 3:
Sometimes, I [G#m] stare in space [A#m]
Tears all [D#m] over my [D#m] face
I can't [G#m] explain it, don't [A#m] understand it
I ain't [D#m] never felt like this be-[D#m]-fore

PRE-CHORUS 3:
Now, that [G#m] funny feelin' has [D#m] me in a maze
Don't [B] know what to do, my [Db] head's in a haze

BRIDGE:
It's like a [Gb] heat wave
Yeah yeah [G#m] yeah yeah [A#m]; [D#m] Oh yeah [D#m]
Yeah [G#m] yeah yeah [A#m] yeah; [D#m] Oh yeah [D#m]
[G#m] Don't pass up [A#m] this chance
[B] It sounds like [Db] true romance
