Lyrics

The (Em)club is n’t the best place to find a lov er, so the (C)bar is where I go.

(Em)Me and my friends at the (Am)ta ble, do ing shots, drink ing (C)fast, and then we talk slow.

And you come (Em)o ver and start up a con ver (Am)sa tion with just me, and (C)trust me, I’ll give it a (D)chance.

Now, take my (Em)hand, stop, put Van the (Am)Man on the juke box, and (C)then we start to dance.

And now, I’m sing ing like, (Em)‘girl, you know I (Am)want your love, (C)your love was hand made (D)for some bo dy like (Em)me.

Come on, now, (Am)fol low my lead, (C)I may be cra zy, (D)don’t mind me.

Say, (Em)boy, let’s not (Am)talk too much, (C)grab on my waist and (D)put that bo dy on (Em)me.

Come on, now, (Am)fol low my lead, come, (C)come on, now, fol low my (CN.C.)lead.’ Mmm.

I’m in (Am)love with the shape of (C)you, we push and (D)pull like a mag net (Em)do.

Al though my (Am)heart is fall ing (C)too, I’m in (D)love with your bo dy.

Last (Am)night you were in my (C)room, and now my (D)bed sheets smell like (Em)you.

Ev ’ry day dis cov er (Am)ing some thing brand (C)new.

Well, I’m in (D)love with your bo dy.

(Em)Oh, I, oh, I, (Am)oh, I, oh, I.

Well, I’m in (D)love with your bo dy.

(Em)Oh, I, oh, I, (Am)oh, I, oh, I.

Well, I’m in (D)love with your bo dy.

(Em)Oh, I, oh, I, (Am)oh, I, oh, I.

Well, I’m in (D)love with your bo dy.

Ev ’ry day dis cov er (Am)ing some thing brand (C)new.

I’m in (D)love with the shape of (Em)you.
