I love this song, any time I hear it, I think of my friend Annita for some
reason (I have only known her a couple months).  Anyway, I am transcribing
the -Paris- version of the song.  It really does not make that much of a
difference since I have heard the original and it sounds exactly like
the -Paris- version.  I broke the song up into two riffs like these:


Riff 1 (the tantalizing keyboard riff):

   Bm             C       D              E5  Em

E --------2-3-2----------|------2-3-2-------|--------------|--------------|
B ----0-3-------3-0-0-0--|--0-3-------3-0---|--------------|--------------|
G -----------------------|------------------|--------------|--------------|
D -----------------------|------------------|---2---0--2---|-5--2--0--2---|
A -2---------------------|------------------|--------------|------------2-|
E -----------------------|------------------|-0------------|--------------|


Riff 2 (The spine-tingling duo notes):

   C                 Bm          C                 Bm

E ---3---2--3---5---|-2--------|---3---2--3---5---|-2--------|
B ---5---3--5---7---|-3--------|---5---3--5---7---|-3--------|
G ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
D ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
A ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
E ------------------|----------|------------------|----------|


Those are basically the riffs with the chords on top.  The lyrics are:
