(Original Key: Bb)


Intro:

G7

Dm  Em, Am (x3)
Dm  Em, F  G, C

Verse 1:

G7            Dm       Em
 Whenever I'm with him,
             Am
Something in-side,
         Dm       Em
Is still burning,
        Am
And I'm filled with desire.

Bridge 1:

Dm             Em
 Could it be a Devil in me,
      F                       G
Or is this the way love's sup-posed to be?

Chorus 1:

            C
It's like a heatwave, burning in my heart.
I can't keep from crying; tearing me apart.

Verse 2:

G7           Dm             Em
 Whenever he calls my name;
       Am
Sounds soft, sweet and plain.
      Dm          Em      Am
Right then, right then; I feel this burning pain.

Bridge 2:

         Dm                        Em
Has this high blood pressure got a hold on me,
      F                       G
Or is this the way love's sup-posed to be?

Chorus 2:

            C
It's like a heatwave, burning in my heart.
I can't keep from crying; tearing me apart.

Interlude:

Dm  Em, Am (x3)
Dm  Em, F  G, C

Verse 3:

G7           Dm              Em
 Sometimes I stare in space;
          Am
Tears all over my face.
           Dm                    Em
I can't ex-plain it, don't under-stand it;
      Am
Ain't never felt like this before.

Bridge 3:

    Dm                      Em
Now this funny feeling, got me amazed;
      F                   G
Don't know what to do; my head's in a haze.

Chorus 3:

            C
It's like a heatwave.
