Never mind the when and the why
F7M
Got a feeling higher than high

This is the real thing
             Dm7(9)    Em7 A4(7/9)
This is the real thing 

         Dm7(9)    Em7
No more living in shame
    Dm7(9)                      Em7
And I'm not gonna run or gonna hide away
         Dm7(9)            Em7
No more telling all those lies
               Dm7(9) Em7 A4(7/9)

         Dm7(9)     Em7
No more living in chains
    Dm7(9)                        Em7
No, I don't give a damn whet the people say
Dm7(9)                       Em7
There's no use holding back desire
Dm7(9)                            Em7            A4(7/9)
We've burnt our fingers now lets jump into the flames
