[Db] [Db] [Db] [Db open]

[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
