B5                                  F#5  
Get a load of me get a load of you 

Walkin down the street 
                       G#5 
And I hardly know you 

(Hardly know you)


E5 
It's just like we were meant to be... 


B5
Holding hands with you 
                            F#5
When we're out at night 

Got a girlfriend, you say 
          G#5
It isn't right 

(Isn't right...)


E5 
And I've got someone waiting 

Too 


G#5 
What if this is just the beginning? 
          E5
We're already wet and we're 
F#5
Gonna go swimming? 

[Chorus]: 
G#5    E5         B5
Why can't I breathe
                    F#5 
Whenever I think about you? 
G#5   E5        B5
Why can't I speak 
                    F#5
Whenever I talk about you? 
E5
It's inevitable 

It's the fact and we're 
F#5
Gonna get down to it... 
               G#5      E5       B5
So tell me, why can't I breathe 
                    F#5
Whenever I think about you? 

(continue with 
G#5 , E5 , B5 , F#5 )
(Whenever I think about you) 

(Whenever I think about you) 

(Whenever I think about you) 

(Whenever I think about you) 


B5
Isn't this the best part of 
              F#5
Breaking up 

Finding someone else you 
                  E5
Can't get enough of 

Someone who wants to be with you too? 


B5                                                   F#5
It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
                                                      E5 
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch 

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

But wouldn't it be beautiful? 


G#5
Here we go, we're at the beginning 
         E5
We haven't f*ck*ed yet,
      F#5 
But my heads spinning. 

[CHORUS]


G#5                     E5                         B5
I would love for you to make me wonder,
F#5 
Where it's going... 
G#5                     E5                    B5
I would love for you to pull me under
F#5 
Somethings growing 
E5                                     B5
Out of this that we can't control... 
E5
Baby I'm dyyyying... 


G#5     E5          B5
(Why can't I breathe 
                    F#5
Whenever I think about you? 
G#5    E5         B5
Why can't I speak
                   F#5 
Whenever I talk about you?)
