[Intro]
D
[Chorus]
D Em G A
All the lights turned red,
D F#m G
When I saw you there,
Em G A
Running through my head,
D F#m G
And I can’t seem to forget you.
[Post-Chorus]
Em G A
And I can’t recall
D F#m G
Your very name at all
Em G A
But I felt right there:
D F#m G
You can take me any-where, girl.
[Verse 1]
G F#m G G Bm A
You took me to the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7th sky,
D F#m G
One look at you and my mouth was suddenly shut,
G G Bm A D
I kept trying 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 times,
F#m G G Bm A
To say ‘I love you and I need you’,
D
I can’t get you out of my head,
F#m G
I keep on trying, but it just won’t work.
[Pre-Chorus]
A
I feel the touch of your soft skin,
G
I hear your voice right beside me,
A G G
I can’t see you, but I know you’re there.
[Chorus]
Em G A
All the lights turned red,
D F#m G
When I saw you there,
Em G A
Running through my head,
D F#m G
And I can’t seem to forget you.
[Post-Chorus]
Em G A
And I can’t recall
D F#m G
Your very name at all
Em G A
But I felt right there:
D F#m G
You can take me any-where, girl,
D F#m G
You can take me any-where, girl.
[Verse 2]
G G Bm A
It took us only 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 seconds to meet,
D F#m G
You said ‘hello’ and you blew up my universe,
G G Bm A D
You hit me like a thunder, lightning, clear blue sky up above,
F#m G
Some kind of lucky curse,
G Bm A
I can’t get you out of my head,
D F#m G
I’m trying hard, but it’s pretty desperate.
[Pre-Chorus]
A
I feel the touch of your soft skin,
G
I hear your voice right beside me,
A G G
I can’t see you, but I know you’re there.
[Chorus]
Em G A
All the lights turned red,
D F#m G
When I saw you there,
Em G A
Running through my head,
D F#m G
And I can’t seem to forget you.
[Post-Chorus]
Em G A
And I can’t recall
D F#m G
Your very name at all
Em G A
But I felt right there:
D F#m G
You can take me any-where, girl,
D F#m G
You can take me any-where, girl.
[Outro]
Em G A
D F#m G
Em G A
D F#m G
No, I can’t seem to forget you,
Em Bm A
(All the lights turned red),
D F#m G (D) (F#m) (G)
(when I saw you there) no, I can’t seem to forget her,
Em Bm A
(running through my head),
D F#m G
No, I can’t seem to forget you,
D F#m G
No, I can’t for-get . . .
