INTRO:
C G Em D

CHORUS:
Gm                            F                 Eb
Something's gotten hold of my heart..keeping my soul 
       D7      Gm
and my senses apart.
Gm                         F                 Eb
Something's gotten into my life, cutting its way through 
   D7            Gm
my dreams like a knife..
F           Eb      D7         Gm   F           Eb
turning me up, and turning me down, making me smile
    D7         Gm
and making me frown.

#1.
Gm                  F                        Bb
In a world that was small, I once lived in a time
         Eb            D7          Gm
that was peace, and no troubles at all.
Gm                   F                   Gm
But then you came my way and a feeling unknown,
         F              C7          F
shook my heart, made me want you to stay..
C7        F          C7        Eb        D7
All of my nights and all of my days.

CHORUS:#2.
Gm                            F                 Eb
Something's gotten hold of my hand, dragging my soul 
     D7        Gm
to a beautiful land.
Gm                              F
Yeah, something has invaded my night..
            Eb           D7        Gm7
painting my sleep with a colour so bright..
F            Eb        D7           Gm7
changing the gray, and changing the blue..
F           Eb      D7          Gm
Scarlet for me, and scarlet for you.

I got to know if this is the real thing,
A7                                           D     D9
I got to know what's making my heart sing, whoaaa, yeahhh.
    D7                                       D9
You smile and I am lost for a lifetime, each minute spent 
                D7
with you is the right time..every hour, every day, you
D9              D7                         D9    D7
touch me and my mind goes astrayyyy, yeah, baby, baby!
