B                                  F#  
Get a load of me get a load of you 

Walkin down the street 
                       G#m 
And I hardly know you 

(Hardly know you)


E 
It's just like we were meant to be... 


B
Holding hands with you 
                            F#
When we're out at night 

Got a girlfriend, you say 
          G#m
It isn't right 

(Isn't right...)


E 
And I've got someone waiting 

Too 


G#m 
What if this is just the beginning? 
          E
We're already wet and we're 
F#
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 
                    F#
Whenever I talk about you? 
E
It's inevitable 

It's the fact and we're 
F#
Gonna get down to it... 
               G#m      E       B
So tell me, why can't I breathe 
                    F#
Whenever I think about you? 

(continue with 
G#m , E , B , F# )
(Whenever I think about you) 

(Whenever I think about you) 

(Whenever I think about you) 

(Whenever I think about you) 


B
Isn't this the best part of 
              F#
Breaking up 

Finding someone else you 
                  E
Can't get enough of 

Someone who wants to be with you too? 


B                                                   F#
It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
                                                      E 
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch 

(But wouldn't it, but wouldn't it) 

But wouldn't it be beautiful? 


G#m
Here we go, we're at the beginning 
         E
We haven't f*ck*ed yet,
      F# 
But my heads spinning. 

[CHORUS]


G#m                     E                         B
I would love for you to make me wonder,
F# 
Where it's going... 
G#m                     E                    B
I would love for you to pull me under
F# 
Somethings growing 
E                                     B
Out of this that we can't control... 
E
Baby I'm dyyyying... 


G#m     E          B
(Why can't I breathe 
                    F#
Whenever I think about you? 
G#m    E         B
Why can't I speak
                   F# 
Whenever I talk about you?) 

[Repeat Chorus; Fade out]
