E7                 Am
A certain softness in her eyes
E+7      E7  F                           E+7
Fascinates me more than I ever thought it would
               E7     F
(A certain softness) More than I ever thought
    Gm7  A
it could

Dm                        C
A certain softness in her eyes
       F6              G
Got me hooked, got me hooked

A kind of sadness in her smile
Captivates me surer than anything that's sure
(A kind of sadness) Surer than anything before

A kind of sadness in her smile
       F6             G
Got me hooked, got me hooked
       A
Got me hooked

C#m                    F#m
If I can even find the words to tell her
Bm                     A
I wouldn't want to anyway
C#m                             F#m
Cause that would only break the spell
                   Bm                 F   G
And you know very well I couldn't betray her

A touch of wildness in her style
Haunts my memory more than I ever thought it would
(A touch of wildness) More than I ever thought
it could

A touch of wildness in her style
Got me hooked, got me hooked
Got me hooked


A certain softness in her eyes
Fascinates me more than I ever thought it would
(A certain softness) More than I ever thought
it could

A certain softness in her eyes
Got me hooked, got me hooked
