 F
How did we get so close,
A#                F
I don't remember now
 F
But I can almost taste the words
          A#               F
That you haven't said out loud
                A#
Oh, what's the rush
F   A#
I I I
A#    F A# F
I  I  I

 F
I've been flirting with you for weeks
   A#                    F
I know I'm a shameless tease
 F
But it wasn't until you put your lips on mine
        A#            F
That I know I was in deep
                   A#
Now it's all about us
F   A#
I I I
A#    F
I  I  I  I
 F
And I know that it doesn't make sense

Chorus:
               C
But what if I call you
        F
In the middle of the night
       A#
But I wanted you, holding me tight
C          F
So what, what if I like
 A#
Take up your heart,
Mess with your mind
      C        F
If I lead you, on so much
          A#
I didn't mean to, fall in love
C       F
Ga ga, look in my eye
           A#
And we're dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
        F  A# F
On the line

F
I secretly imagine
A#                  F
You sneaking in my room
Baby is it all inevitable
          A#                       F
Did you choose me or did I choose you
                     A#
There's nothing I'm sure of
F   A#
I I I
(I I I) in the morning

 F
And I was scared and real
    A#            F
And I got a nice skin
 F
And your hands and your lips
Visits places on me babe
 A#            F
Few have ever been

 F                 A#
Yeah I think we're in luck (I I I )
 A#                    F
Yeah I think we're in lu-u-uckck
 F
And I know that it doesn't make sense

Chorus:
             C
Enough if I call you
        F
In the middle of the night
       A#
And I wanted you, holding me tight
C          F
So what, what if I like
 A#
Take up your heart,
Mess with your mind
      C        F
If I lead you, on so much
          A#
I didn't mean to, fall in love
C       F
Ga ga, look in my eye
           A#
And we're dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
        F
On the line

               A#
And what if I call you
        F
In the middle of the night
        A#
When I want you,
C
So what, baby what if I like
 A#
Take up your heart, mess with your mind

                C
Baby what if I call you
        F
In the middle of the night
                     A#
'Cause I wanted you baby
 A#                     C
Holding me, holding me tight
C         F
So what, what if I like

 A#
Take up your heart,
And mess with your mind

           C
And if I think it's fun when you come undone
   A#
I know I'm a bitch but I'm your favorite one
        C       F
And now ga ga, look in my eye
           A#
And we're dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
        F  A# F
On the line
            C      F
'Cause now ga ga, look in my eye
           A#
And we're dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
        F
On the line
