VERSE 1
C             Em          Am                  G
   Please forgive me if I act a little strange
C        Em                Am   G
   For I know not what I do
C             Em                   Am           G
   Feels like lightning running through my veins
F               C          G
   Every time I look at you
F                       C   Em   Am   G
   Every time I look at you


VERSE 2
C          Em               A                 G
   Help me out here all my words are falling short
C                 Em                Am   G
   And there's so much I want to say
C           Em                Am          G
   Want to tell you just how good it feels
F                           C   G
   When you look at me that way
F                           C   Em   Am   G
   When you look at me that way


VERSE 3
C           Em                 Am          G
   Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow
C         Em             Am   G
   Moving out across the bay
C          Em             Am         G
   Like a stone I fall into your eyes
F                 C      G
   Deep into that mystery
F                     C   Em   Am   G  *Start Lead Line 
   Deep into some mystery


VERSE 4   
C           Em          Am             G
   I got half a mind to scream out loud
C           Em          Am   G
   I got half a mind to die
C             Em            Am          G
   So I won't ever have to lose you girl
F                          C    G
   Won't ever have to say goodbye
F                        C   G
   I won't ever have to lie
F                              C   
   Won't ever have to say goodbye
