  			C                                     G 
Get a load of me get a load of you  
Walkin down the street  
                       F (continue strumming F) 
And I hardly know you  
(Hardly know you)  
It's just like we were meant to be...  

C 
Holding hands with you  
                             G 
When we're out at night  
Got a girlfriend, you say  
           F 
It isn't right  
(Isn't right...)  
And I've got someone waiting  
Too  

Am  
What if this is just the beginning?  
           F 
We're already wet and we're  
G 
Gonna go swimming?  
Am    F         C 
Why can't I breathe 
                    G  
Whenever I think about you?  
Am    F         C 
Why can't I speak  
                    G 
Whenever I talk about you?  
F 
It's inevitable  
It's the fact and we're  
G 
Gonna get down to it...  
               Am      F       C 
So tell me, why can't I breathe  
                    G 
Whenever I think about you?  
(continue with Am, F, C, G) 
(Whenever I think about you)  
(Whenever I think about you)  
(Whenever I think about you)  
(Whenever I think about you)  
C 
Isn't this the best part of  
              G 
Breaking up  
Finding someone else you  
                  F 
Can't get enough of  
Someone who wants to be with you too?  

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

Am 
Here we go, we're at the beginning  
         F 
We haven't f*ck*ed yet, 
      G  
But my heads spinning.  
Am                     F                         C 
I would love for you to make me wonder, 
G  
Where it's going...  
Am                     F                     C 
I would love for you to pull me under 
G  
Somethings growing  
F                                     G 
Out of this that we can't control...  
F 
Baby I'm dyyyying...  
Am     F          C 
(Why can't I breathe  
                    G 
Whenever I think about you?  
Am    F          C 
Why can't I speak 
                   G  
Whenever I talk about you?)
