B                               F#
Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walkin down the street
                       G#m
And I hardly know you
(Hardly know you)

E
It's just like we were meant to be...

B
Holding hands with you
                  F#
When we're out at night
Got a girlfriend, you say
          G#m
It isn't right
(Isn't right...)

E
And I've got someone waiting
Too

G#m
What if this is just the beginning?
          E
We're already wet and we're

F#
Gonna go swimming?

[Chorus]:
G#m    E         B
Why can't I breathe
                    F#
Whenever I think about you?
G#m   E        B
Why can't I speak
                    F#
Whenever I talk about you?
E
It's inevitable
It's the fact and we're
F#
Gonna get down to it...
               G#m      E       B
So tell me, why can't I breathe
                    F#
Whenever I think about you?
(continue with G#m, E, B, F#)
(Whenever I think about you)
(Whenever I think about you)
(Whenever I think about you)
(Whenever I think about you)

B
Isn't this the best part of
              F#
Breaking up
Finding someone else you
                  E
Can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too?

B                                    F#
It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
                                     E
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
(But wouldn't it, but wouldn't it)
But wouldn't it be beautiful?

G#m
Here we go, we're at the beginning
         E
We haven't f*ck*ed yet,

      F#
But my heads spinning.

[CHORUS]

G#m                     E              B
I would love for you to make me wonder,
F#
Where it's going...
G#m                     E            B
I would love for you to pull me under
F#
Somethings growing
E                                  B
Out of this that we can't control...
E
Baby I'm dyyyying...

G#m     E          B
(Why can't I breathe
                    F#
Whenever I think about you?
G#m    E         B
Why can't I speak
                   F#
Whenever I talk about you?)

[Repeat Chorus; Fade out]
