[F#m] [G#m] [C#m] [C#m]
[F#m] [G#m] [A] [B]
[E] [E] [E] [E open]
VERSE 1:
Whenever I'm
[F#m] with him
[G#m]
Something in-
[C#m]-side
[C#m]
Starts to
[F#m] burnin'
[G#m]
And I'm
[C#m] filled with
[C#m] desire
PRE-CHORUS 1:
[F#m] Could it be, a
[G#m] devil in me
Or is
[A] this the way love's sup-
[B]-posed to be?
CHORUS:
It's like a
[E] heat wave
Burnin' in my
[E] heart
I can't keep from
[E] crying
Tearin' me a-
[E]-part
VERSE 2:
Whenever he
[F#m] calls my name
[G#m]
Soft, low,
[C#m] sweet and plain
[C#m]
I
[F#m] feel, right
[G#m] there
I
[C#m] feel that burning
[C#m] flame
PRE-CHORUS 2:
Has
[F#m] high blood pressure got a
[G#m] hold on me
Or is
[A] this is the way love's sup-
[B]-posed to be
