To make a man just lose his mind
    E          F#             G#m/D#   D#m
To give me a shiver, send it down my spine

And don't ever go

Everybody knows that I'm under the spell of your love

You have got a body to
To make a man just sell his soul
Right to the devil I think after all
I should have known

Chorus:
Everybody knows that I'm under the spell of your love
Got nothing but you on my mind
And everybody knows and I wonder if you know it too
I skywrite your name way up high in the sky, in the sky
In the sky, in the sky, in the sky

To bring a man down on his knees
Just let me inside don't leave me begging please
Don't ever go

Chorus:
Everybody knows that I'm under the spell of your love
Got nothing but you on my mind
That's the way it goes, it's no wonder you're tearing my heart
Simply in pieces tonight

Everybody knows that I'm under the spell of your love
Got nothing but you on my mind
Everybody knows and I wonder if you know it too
I skywrite your name way up high in the sky, in the sky

In the sky - x9

Skywriter - x3
