Intro - G - D - Am7 - C 
 
 
(verse 1) 
D                 Cadd9 
I try to let it go, I try to shut it out, 
D 
Cleanse it from my soul, 
       Cadd9 ---------hold-------------> 
But it stays in place like a permanent stain, Yeah 
 
 
(verse 2) 
D        Cadd9 
All I want, Is to turn you down,  
D 
To sleep you off, 
        Cadd9   ---------hold-------------> 
But your memory creeps in and out of my dreams, and,

I can't kick your affecetion, 
I'm sick of tryin' to,  
You're like a bad addiction, 
Runnin' through my veins,

Some kinda voodoo in your eyes, 
Has my head hypnotized,

     Em7              A

(tag) 
G            D          
One look and I was hooked, 
Am7            C 
One touch was all it took, 
G            D 
Your lips, your velvet skin, 
Am7             C 
Pulled me over and under and in, 
   G        D     Am7 
To love you once, 
 C       G        D   Am7 
Baby to love you once, 
 C        G       D   Am7 
Baby to love you once,  
no chord          G  
Is to love you forever,
