I (Am)guess I got lost in the mo ment, I (C)guess I got lost in the fall,

I (Am)guess I got lost in the heart (G)beat,

in the thrill of it all.

And I (Dm7)guess you were god damn (Am7)per fect, ’cause (C7)ev ’ry sin gle time you (F)call

I re mind my self of what I (C)lost that night, my (E7sus)love,

in the thrill of it (Am)all.

(Am)E ven though we weren’t in love,

it was far (C)from lust.

And Mm, re (Am)yeah, you were beau ti ful,

but in you (C)I could trust.

I (Am)Oth ers, they I’d warmed my heart, they (G)said I would ing (C)lose fast.

They said (Am)that you were n’t stop ping ground and (G)soon you to (C)be my past.

I (Am)guess I got lost in the mo ment, I (C)guess I got lost in the fall,

I (Am)guess I got lost in the heart (G)beat,

in the thrill of it all.

And I (Dm7)guess you were god damn (Am7)per fect, ’cause (C7)ev ’ry sin gle time you (F)call

I re mind my self of what I (C)lost that night, my (E7sus)love,

in the thrill of it (Am)all.

Mm.

In the (E)thrill of it (Am)all.

In the thrill of it all.

And I (Dm7)guess you were god damn (Am7)per fect, ’cause (C7)ev ’ry sin gle time you (F)call

I re mind my self of what I (C)lost that night, my (E7sus)love,

I re (F)mind my self of what I (C)lost that night, my (E7sus)love,

I re (F)mind my self of what I (C)lost that night, my (E7sus)love,

in the thrill of it (Am)all.
