VERSE 1:
Whenever I'm
[Fm] with him
[Gm]
Something in-

[Cm]
Starts to
[Fm] burnin'
[Gm]
And I'm

[Cm] desire
PRE-CHORUS 1:
[Fm] Could it be, a

Or is
[Ab] this the way love's sup-
[Bb]-posed to be?

Tearin' me a-

Whenever he

Soft, low,

I
[Cm] feel that burning
[Cm] flame
PRE-CHORUS 2:
Has
[Fm] high blood pressure got a
[Gm] hold on me
Or is
[Ab] this is the way love's sup-
[Bb]-posed to be
