Verse 1:
B                                            
  Get a load of me get a load 
   F#/Bb
of you walking down the street
             G#m
And I hardly know you it's 
E
just like we were meant to be
B
  Holding hands with you 
                  F#/Bb
when we're out at night
                                  G#m
Got a girlfriend you say it isn't right
    E
and I've got someone waiting too


Refrain 1:
E
  What if this is just the beginning
      F#
We're already wet and we're gonna go swimming


Chorus:
G#m   E       B
  Why can't I breathe 
           F#
whenever I think about you
G#m   E        B
  Why can't I speak whenever
  F#
I talk about you
E
  It's inevitable it's a fact 
           F#
that we're gonna get down to it
          G#m  E       B
So tell me why can't I breathe
           F#
whenever I think about you

verse 2:
B
  Isn't this the best 
                 F#/Bb
part of breaking up
Finding someone else 
               G#m
you can't get enough of
    E
Someone who wants 
to be with you too
B
  It's an itch we know 
              F#/Bb
we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for
            G#m
this egg to hatch
    E
But wouldn't it be beautiful


Refrain 2:
E
  Here we go we're 
at the beginning
   F#
We haven't fucked yet
but my heads spinning


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
G#m   F#/Bb     B
High enough for you to 
Ebm     E
make me wonder where it's going
G#m   F#/Bb     B      Ebm
High enough for you to pull
   E
me under somethings growing
E
Out of this that we can
control baby I am dying
G#m   E       B
  Why can't I breathe 
           F#
whenever I think about you
G#m   E        B
  Why can't I speak whenever
  F#
I talk about you


(Repeat Chorus)
