verse 1
Am F
Two eyes that haunt me when I turn out the light
G C
Two lips that taunt me from the darkness each night
I try and hide my heart
Am F
Keep my distance in the dark
G Am
What makes me fall apart and call out your name
Pre-Chorus
F G Am
Just when I'm certain that you're out of my mind
F G
This feeling grips me, so hard to define
F G F G
This yearning inside
F
Just can't deny it
C G F C
My heart's been branded, I can't let you go
G Am
Don't understand it, just can't tell you no
G C
Don't leave me stranded 'cause I just can't let you go
F C G C
Oh no
verse 2
Am F
It's such a fine line, I walk on the wire
G
Your heart's a magnet pulling me to the fire
C
Girls like you are hard to shake
Am F
Like habits, hard as hell to break
G Am
It might be my mistake, but I need you tonight
Pre-Chorus
F G Am
You must have something to have held me so long
F G
I'm not accustomed to a feeling so strong
F G F G
Don't tell me it's wrong
F
Just can't deny it
C G F C
My heart's been branded, I can't let you go

Don't understand it, just can't tell you no
G C
Don't leave me stranded 'cause I just can't let you go

Oh no
