             Bm      C#m           F#m               F#m
Whenever I'm with you, something inside (something inside)
          Bm       C#m        F#m                 F#m
Starts to burn deep   and my heart's filled with fire
Bm                C#m
Could be that I'm very sentimental
        D                          E
Or is this just the way love's supposed to be

Chorus:
         A
I got a heatwave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying, tear me apart

Whenever she calls my name
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't explain
I feel, yeah, I feel
Yeah, I feel this burning pain
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this just the way love's supposed to be

Chorus

Sometimes I'd see her face
It is all over the place
I can't explain it, don't understand it
I ain't never felt this way before
Yeah, has this funny feeling got me amazed
My head's in a whirl
And my mind's in a haze

Chorus

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
I've got time now
Don't miss another chance
This could be a new romance
