But I (Am)can not de ny the (Gm6)feel that I feel when I (F)look straight in to your (E7)eyes.

(Am)Feel my heart beat ing (Gm6)fast for fun the chal lenge may you (E7)rise.

I wan na know what makes you feel the way you (F)do,

you (E7)do.

I think you’re hop ing there’s a (Gm6)chance for me and you, yeah, (E7)you.

If Should I meet you at the (Gm6)bar and say we (F)can’t,
