                 C#    G#       D#
Ain't just your kiss, K I S S that I miss
C#             G#             D#
Ain't just the way that you squeeze me tight
              C#          G#        D#
If there's a wish at the top of my list
   C#           G#              D#
Uh, is that you be there every day and every night

Chorus:
           F#/A#    B     C#
I found a new four letter word
F#/A#         B           C#
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
           F#/A#    B     C#
I found a new four letter word
 F#/A#
Lust can kinda be nice
F#/A#                D# C#
But it ain't L O V E,
      G#
Indeed
         D# C# G#
All right

Oh when the rush that I'm dreaming of's not enough
You touch and I can't control myself
You put the glide back into my stride
Oh yeah, you move me like nobody else

Chorus:
           F#/A#    B     C#
I found a new four letter word
F#/A#         B           C#
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
           F#/A#    B     C#
I found a new four letter word
 F#/A#
Lust can kinda be nice
F#/A#                     D#  C#
But it ain't L O V E, oh yeah
G#                 D# C#
Let me spell it out
G#
C'mon

F#              B
You're all I'm looking for
E              B
You ain't the girl next door
F#             B
You're really so much more
     E          B
You put me to shame
F#            B
And then you walk right in
E           B
You know I can't explain
F#           B
You do that loving thing
    E      B
All over again
 F#
Live life just like a wild ride
More like a landslide
Take me away

Chorus:
New four letter word
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
I found a new four letter word
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
New four letter word
And baby, the sweetest sound that I ever heard
New four letter word
Hey, lust can kinda be nice
But it ain't L O V E
