C G/B
Get a load of me, get a load of you walkin' down the street
Am7 Fsus2
And I hardly know you -it's just like we were meant to be
C G/B
Holding hands with you when we're out at night
Am7 Fsus2
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right -and I've got someone waiting too
Fmaj7
What if this is just the beginning
G
We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming
[chorus]
Am F C(2) G(2)
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
F G
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
Am F C(2) G(2)
So tell me -why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Isn't this the best part of breakin' up
Am7
Finding someone else you can't get enough of

Someone who wants to be with you too
C G/B
It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Am7
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
Fsus2
But wouldn't it be beautiful
Fmaj7
Here we go, we're at the beginning
G
We haven't fucked yet, but my heads spinning
