A#m
Breaking my back just to know your name,
                                           D#m    F#
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game.
A#m
I'm breaking my back just to know your name,
But heaven ain't close in a place like this,
                                         D#m      F#
Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss.

      A#m
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this,
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this.
F#                   G#                  A#m
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight,
F#                                    G#
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight.

Chorus:
               A#m
Well, somebody told me,
           F#
You had a boyfriend,
                   G#
Who looked like a girlfriend.
               F           A#m
That I had in February of last year,
          F#
It's not confidential,
           G#      F
I've got potential.

Ready? Let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll then I'm leaving without you

'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Chorus:
               A#m
Well, somebody told me,
           F#
You had a boyfriend,
                   G#
Who looked like a girlfriend.
               F           A#m
That I had in February of last year,
          F#
It's not confidential,
         G#
I've got potential,
              F
A rushin', a rushin' around.

F#       G#       D#m
Pace yourself for me,
        C#   D#m    F#
I said maybe baby please.
                 A#m   G# F#
But I just don't know now,
     F                   G#
When all I wanna do is try.

Chorus:
Well, somebody told me
you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
A rushing, rushing around
Somebody told me
you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
A rushing, rushing around
Somebody told me
you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
A rushing, rushing around
