Verse 1:
G D
Get a load of me get a load of you
Walkin down the street
Em
And I hardly know you
C
It's just like we were meant to be
G
Holding hands with you
D
When we're out at night
Em
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right
C
And I've got someone waitin too
C
What if this is just the beginning?
D
We're already wet and we're gonna go swimming

Em C G
Why can't I breathe

Whenever I think about you

Isn't this the best part of breaking up
Finding someone else you
Em
Can't get enough of
C
Someone who wants to be with you too?

It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch

Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch

Here we go, we're at the beginning

We haven't f*cked yet, but my heads spinning
Chorus
Bridge:
Em C G
I would love for you to make me wonder,
Where it's going...
Em C G
I would love for you to pull me under

Somethings growing

Out of this that we can't control...

Baby I'm dyyyying...
Em C G
Why can't I breathe
D

Em C G
Why can't I speak
D
Whenever I talk about you?
