          C       A#       F     A#
Could it be just that I'm crazy
          C      A#    F         A#
Could it be the way I feel this time of
 C A# F A# C A# F A#
year
        C       A#    F A#          C        A#
When a certain situation seems to bring the best
 F     A#
out of me
         C    A# F A#
I don't care

             F               A#
When she's standing close beside me
 F                 A#
Something turns inside me
           F                      A#   D
Brings my senses to the point of no return

Chorus:
       G                           C
And I don't know what it is but I love it
       G                           C
And I don't know what it is but I want it to stay
       G                           C
And I don't know what it is but I love it
       G                           C
And I don't know what it is but I want it to stay
       G     Em C D
And I love it
       G     Em C D
Oh I love it

And it seems to be around me
Even though no-one can see
They seem to share
Deep inside the wildest daydreams
Go so far this
I don't care

When she's standing close beside me
Something turns inside me
Brings my senses to the point of no return

Chorus:
And I don't know what it is but I love it
I don't know what it is but I want it to stay
I don't know what it is but I love it
I don't know what it is but I want it to stay
And I love it, love it
Yeah I love it
(Love it)
Woah, I love, love, love it
Woah, I love
(Love it)

And I don't know what it is but I love it
I don't know what it is but I want it to stay
I don't know what it is but I love it
I don't know what it is but I want it to stay
And I love it
Yeah I love it
Woah, I love, love, love it
Woah, I love, love it
(Love it)
