C                               G
Get a load of me get a load of you 
Walkin down the street 
              Am
And I hardly know you 
(Hardly know you) 
      F
It's just like we were meant to be... 

C
Holding hands with you 
                    G
When we're out at night 
Got a girlfriend, you say 
          Am
It isn't right 
(Isn't right...)
     F 
And I've got someone waiting too 

Am 
What if this's just the beginning? 
       G
We're already wet and we're gonna go swimming? 

[Chorus]: 
Am    F         C
Why can't I breathe
             G 
Whenever I think about you? 
Am    F         C
Why can't I speak 
             G
Whenever I talk about you? 
F
It's inevitable 
It's the fact and we're 
G
Gonna get down to it... 
So tell me

Am   F        C
Why can't I breathe 
             G
Whenever I think about you? 

C
(Whenever I think about you) 
Am
(Whenever I think about you) 
F
(Whenever I think about you) 
G
(Whenever I think about you) 

C
Isn't this the best part of 
          G
Breaking up 
Finding someone else you 
             Am
Can't get enough of 
    F
Someone who wants to be with you too? 

C                                    G
It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
                                    Am                   
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch 
(But wouldn't it, but wouldn't it) 
       F
But wouldn't it be beautiful? 

Am
Here we go, we're at the beginning 
     G
We haven't f*ck*ed yet but my head's spinning. 

[CHORUS]

Am                                F
I would love for you to make me wonder,
Where it's going... 
Am                                F      
I would love for you to pull me under
Something's growing 
G                                 
Out of this that we can't control... 
Baby I'm dying... 

Am     F          C
(Why can't I breathe 
             G
Whenever I think about you? 
Am    F       C
Why can't I speak
            G 
Whenever I talk about you?
