         A
From the moment that I saw you

         E6
Yeah, it had to be love

        G
Girl, I can't help but adore you

           Dmaj7
Knew you'd fit me like a glove

       A
What a life we have in store

           E6
To spend together and stuff

         G
You're a beauty; what a cutie

       Dmaj7
It's undoubtably [sic] love

                 A   E6  G  Dmaj7  A  E6  G  Dmaj7
It's undoubtably love

   A                          E6
My legs are going weak and my heart's beating fast

    G                                      Dmaj7
I'm knowing I should speak to her, but I'm not sure what to ask

  A                                   E6
I feel like my technique might not be up to the task

              G                                   Dmaj7
But she's the love that I do seek and, hey, she's got a nice ass

             Dm                                  A(ii)
And when she looks at me, I hope she'll feel the same

           Dm                                 F
Due to the hormone that's released inside her brain

    A  C#7  F#m  B7  Dmaj7  E7  A
Dopamine,            do-o-o-o-o-pamine

         A           E6        D     F
It's a catecholamine neurotransmitter

      A                E6              D     F
Which means it sends a message in your brain

   A                 E6                     D             F
To tell you that you think that girl you're looking at is fitter

        A                   E6        D    F
To make offspring with than any other dame

             A                       E6
And when she looks at me, yes, I can feel it beating

      G                           Dmaj7
I can tell from the shortness of my breath

        A                       E6
That my body has reacted to our wandering eyes meeting

        G                            Dmaj7
And the hormone's comparable to meth

       Dm                                 A(ii)
But methamphetamine's a drug of which I'm clean

         Dm                        F
Though I can't say the same of dopamine

    A  C#7  F#m  B7  Dmaj7  E7  A
Dopamine,            do-o-o-o-o-pamine

    A                               E6
But dopamine's just one half of the tale

    G                             Dmaj7
The chemical that gets you in the mood

         A                                 E6
There's another guy that you'll need to prevail

       G                               D   F
If you want to see your partner in the nude

G                           F
Dopamine is useless without norepinephrine

G                          F
Focusing your efforts on one girl

G                                    F
Telling you that she's the one who's making your head spin

G                            F
If this were an oyster, then she'd be the pearl

         A                       E6  G                      Dmaj7
And so I lock eyes with this girl,   ready for our love to unfurl

A              E6                        G                        F
I just want to curl up to her, but she's looking at me like she's ready to hurl

  Dm                                   A(ii)
I guess this lady doesn't feel the same

  Dm                                A(ii)
I thought there was a spark, but it didn't light the flame

    Dm                               A(ii)
But I still have the urge to ask her name

               Dm                           F
But that's not me, that's the hormone in my brain

    A  E6  D  F  A  E6  D  F  A  E6  D  F  A  E6  D  F
Dopamine,      dopamine,    dopamine,    dopamine

                A  E6  D   F   A   E6   D  F
And don't forget norepinephrine, norepinephrine

A  E6     D     F      A  E6   D  F    A  E6 F#m  B7    Dmaj7 E7  A
Dopamine's best friend, norepinephrine, norepinephrine, norepinephrine

         A                              E6
From the moment that I saw her, yeah, I knew it was love

         G                                 Dmaj7
Couldn't help but adore her; thought she'd fit me like a glove

       A                                       E6
But it turned out that my thoughts were just impulses not enough

            G                                Dmaj7
To get this beauty's pretty booty; it's just chemical love

                   A
It's just chemical love
