Gm D7+9 Gm7 Am7 Dm Bb C
No chord Bb Fmaj7
You've got the cool water
F11 F7 Bb Bbm6 F
When the fever runs high
Gm A+5 A7 Dm7
You've got the look of lovelight in your eyes
C/Bb Bb Fmaj7
And I was in crazy motion
F11 B7 Bb Bbm
'Til you calmed me down
F Gm7
It took a little time
C11 F
But you calmed me down
C/Bb
When something goes wrong
Bb F F9
I'm the first to admit it
Bb7 F
I'm the first to admit it
Gm7 C11
And the last one to know
F C/Bb
when something goes right
F A7
Well it's likely to lose me, mm
Bb7 F
It's apt to confuse me
Gm7 C#dim Dm
It's such an unusual sight
A7 Bb F G7
Oh, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
C11 Bb F Bb F Gm7 Am7 Dm Bb C
Something so right
No chord Bb Fmaj7
They've got a wall in China
F11 F7 Bb Bbm6 F
It's a thousand miles long
Gm A+5 A7 Dm7
To keep out the foreigners they made it strong
C/Bb Bb Fmaj7
And I've got a wall around me
F11 B7 Bb Bbm
That you can't even see
F Gm7
It took a little time
C11 F
To get next to me
C/Bb
When something goes wrong
Bb F F9
I'm the first to admit it
Bb7 F
I'm the first to admit it
Gm7 C11
And the last one to know
F C/Bb
when something goes right
F A7
Well it's likely to lose me, mm
Bb7 F
It's apt to confuse me
Gm7 C#dim Dm
because it's such an unusual sight
A7 Bb F G7
Oh, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
C11 F Gm Am A+5 A
Something so right
Dm A
Some people never say the words "I love you"
F7
It's not their style
Bb A+5 A
to be so bold
Dm A
Some people never say the words "I love you"
Dm Bb G7 C7sus C7
But like a child they're longing to be told, mm
F C/Bb
When something goes wrong
Bb F F9
I'm the first to admit it
Bb7 F
I'm the first to admit it
Gm7 C11
And the last one to know
F C/Bb
when something goes right
F A7
Well it's likely to lose me, mm
Bb7 F
It's apt to confuse me
Gm7 C#dim Dm
because it's such an unusual sight
A7 Bb F G7 Gm7
I swear, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
C11 F Gm Am Bb F
