E - A - E (2 times)

E                  A         E
And so we meet and there are sparks
E                       A         E
It's gold, it's new and free from sharks
E                     A        E
Your house is big and seems so clean
E                            A        E
Your cleaning lady comes and we're discreet

C#m      B           A         E
Are you lightning?  'Cause I'm waiting
C#m        B        A       E
What's the timing?  I'm not playing

E - A - E

E                      A      E
And so I act like I'm twenty-one
E                      A      E
Wide eyed and drifting Mon to Sun
E                  A        E
Payback is here my legs are numb
E                      A       E
I'm back at square one feeling dumb

C#m  B             A       E
The sweet things, when do they come?
C#m    B           A      E
Have I gone deaf?  What's the song?
C#m      B           A         E
Are you lightning?  'Cause I'm waiting
C#m       B          A       E
This is frightening, I'm not playing

E - A - E
B

B                      F#m
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
E                       B
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

B                                       F#m
I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep
                      E                             B
I see you through the mirror, you sing when I'm too steep
                                                        F#m
The only thing I'm scared of is there a secret that you keep
                 E                               B
I know where you are, but I don't know where you are
                                                F#m
Don't make the other wonder or the other's mind stick
                    E                       B
Tell me what you're thinking, do not let me twist
                               F#m
Just look at the size of you

F#m              E                       B
I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep
                                                             F#m 
I see you when something's funny and I hear you and I almost weep
                  E                           B
I see you from my steps, you're walking up my street
                               F#m          E          B
Just look at the size of you

D                                       F#m
I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep
                  E                          B
I see you from my steps you're walking up my street
                                F#m
Just look at the size of you
E                    B
The sun shine on and on
                         F#m      E   End on   B
Let the sun shine on and on
