[Db] [Db] [Db] [Db open]
[D#m] [Fm] [A#m] [A#m]
[D#m] [Fm] [A#m] [A#m]
[D#m] [Fm] [Gb] [Ab]
[Db] [Db] [Db] [Db open]

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

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[D#m] Could it be, a [Fm] devil in me
Or is [Gb] this the way love's sup-[Ab]-posed to be?

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

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

PRE-CHORUS 2:
Has [D#m] high blood pressure got a [Fm] hold on me
Or is [Gb] this is the way love's sup-[Ab]-posed to be

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE + PRE-CHORUS]

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

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

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