Ooh ooh
 E                       B                        G#m
Help me get better, you pull me right out of the blue

Every night when I wake up I need you to get back to sleep
Ee ee

Chorus:
             E        B
Smells like roses to me
           G#m       F#
Two young lovers at sea
           E              B
Tastes so bitter and so sweet

You’re my bang, together we go bang bang bang

Bang bang bang
B      G#m   D#
Oh oh, oh oh

You could've chose anybody but you chose me
Ee ee
Hiding in bed since cause no one around us agrees
Ee ees

And I feel romantic cause since morning I've been acting wild
I, I
Shall we eat all the poison and leave all the questions behind
I, I

Smells like roses to me
Two young lovers at sea
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
You're my bang, together we go bang bang bang

And all the chemicals and alcohol will make for a volatile love
G#m
But stay with me

Just stay with me

And I never wanna lose you but I feel that this closeness will tear us apart
G#m           D#
But stay with me
Stay with me

E           B   G#m F#
Bang, bang, bang - x4

Chorus:
Smells like roses to me
Two young lovers at sea
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
You're my bang, together we go bang bang bang
